    https://lutris.net/ integrates Epic Games, Steam and GOG. And for those fine folks who have a Humble Bundle list of games, it also supports that and I think lists all Flatpak games as well. Butt however, … its vibe coded nowadays. When I install it, then my PC has a problem with logging out. I have no idea why that is, but I tried this twice now (with weeks apart) and every time Lutris is installed, I can’t logout correctly without using some terminal commandlines.

    I’d love to be more independant from Steam. … would be my solution if it integrated Steam in it.

    I don’t understand this. No shade towards you, I just don’t get it. If you want be more independent from Steam, why are you requiring Steam to be integrated? What’s the point? I really mean this question, so nothing toxic here in case it comes over like that. If you ever stop using Steam, then you can still install Heroic without using Steam.

      I’m not the original commentor, but it would be nice to have an independent interface that could just show you all the games you own in one coherent searchable interface that also lets you install and play them.

      Steam only shows Steam games and the non-Steam games you have added. Heroic only supports Epic and GOG and some smaller stores. Lutris more or less does support most vendors but is clunky and doesn’t offer a combined view. I think Playnite does this but is Windows only at the moment. Same with GOG Galaxy.

      And if you had to ditch Steam at some point for whatever reason it would be nice to be able to continue using the same app as before.
