According to a survey, only 36% of PC gamers buy games at full price.
You should try using Legendary. It's an open-source command-line client for Epic. It does pretty much what Epic does but it's quicker to install/launch games and you won't have to worry about telemetry or "spyware." Although, you will have to buy games through the Epic online store.

New game launcher for mac coming soon!
It's an epic games launcher alternative, and a UI frontend for Legendary. (Don't worry, guys. It can launch non-epic games as well đ ) It's simply meant to be like heroic, but this time putting macOS first.

Installed a new os but kept my epic games stuff on my ssd, how do I use the games?
If you are familiar with using the command-line then you can use Legendary and import the game to your EGS, but you will need to do this one by one for each game.

Usan el launcher de Epic para jugar?
Hay un launcher alternativo, Legendary. (https://github.com/derrod/legendary). Se usa con comandos (al menos la Ășltima vez que lo usĂ© no tenĂa interfaz). Es.. interesante.

Is it safer to launch EPIC games with GOG? (fear of spyware)
If you want to avoid using the Epic Games Launcher, but still want to play the games you have there, you can use Legendary (which requires you to use a command line) or Heroic Games Launcher(which is based on Legengary and has a Graphical User Interface, so is much more user friendly). Both are open source.

Heroic Games Launcher 2.8.0 adds a DLC manager for Epic Games, side-loading browser apps
Still no fix for the Epic Games login error caused by certain Unicode characters in names. However, the GitHub issue in the Legendary repo has been closed with a reference to a commit from 4 days ago, so I'm hopeful that the next release of Heroic will finally fix it, if it will upgrade Legendary to the latest version.

How to run Diabotical on Linux
Grab your favorite EGS client and install the game. For this purpose I am using legendary. Legendary is important later, so it is a good idea to have it installed regardless. At this stage, if you try running the game, the game will crash within moments, and spawn 2 windows: a Wine debug window, and a bugsplat window.

Warhammer 40k: Gladius - Turn based 4X, free on Epic games right now!

Amazon Prime Video Will Start Showing Ads on January 29
You can get Lutris: It's an open source launcher that you login into with GOG account and it will download the games and wrap them with Wine, similar to Steam.

Making the switch - what are the gaps?
For "normal" games you could look yourself using ProtonDB regarding every game released on Steam and AreWeAntiCheatYet for most multiplayer games. If a game isn't available on Steam you have three possibilities. First if it's available on GOG, Epic Games or Amazon Gaming, you could use the Heroic Games Launcher. Second you could try to run the launchers through Steam itself using once again Proton. Third you could try installing it with a script or tutorial in Lutris or Bottles.

Windows 11 is last in gaming performance tests against 3 Linux gaming distros
As a data point, you can run a fair number of Windows games under Proton by using Lutris instead of Steam:
* https://github.com/lutris/lutris
It's an OSS game launcher that takes the place of Steam, and you can set things up to run locally so you don't even need an account on their system (lutris.net).

Been thinking of switching to linux but I am a noob
Lutris
My advice would be to go to Protondb first and look at your Steam games and how it would fit. They are graded at Gold/Platinum/Silver in terms of compatibility. Alternatively you can try Lutris if your game is not in Steam. I think there are a few others but I can't recall any.

I recommend using the repos, but WINE HQ if you need it ( https://www.winehq.org/ ) * Lutris is a front-end to WINE which makes installing and running non-Steam games easy. It can be found in the repos ( https://lutris.net/ ) * How-To videos for setting up various distros for gaming ( https://www.youtube.com/@IntelligentGaming2020/videos ). I have no affiliation with this channel. He is a Linux user/gamer sharing info. Search his channel for your distro to find the specific how-to videos. * r/linux4noobs (a newbie focused Linux subreddit) * most if not all of the distros will have their own subreddits (ex: r/pop_OS, r/linuxmint, r/fedora, r/manjaro, r/EndeavourOS)

Valve Is a Wonderful Upstream Contributor to Linux and the Open-Source Community
Glad I could help! Proton is awesome.
For non-Steam games, I do the same thing, either with Steam (by adding a non-steam game installer, and using proton to install it), or by using Lutris (https://lutris.net/). I generally use Lutris with my GoG library.
