Heroic is really nice and what I recommend, but the UI is a bit clunky and spread out.
Do you recommend Heroic over Lutris? Why or why not? Can Heroic launch EA App games?
For me both have their use cases. Heroic is my go to for GOG and Epic games and everything else not Steam (e. g. old Windows install files that I still have lying around). EA App only ran for me on Lutris until one day it didn't. Then I tried with Bottles and it worked ever since. Not trying to add more confusion, but for some people Bottles has a more intuitive interface than Lutris.
