PC/Linux/Steam Noob here. I just got a game from GOG and I’m seeing tutorials mention Heroic, Lutris, and Wine via ProtonUp-QT as methods to get non-Steam games installed and running on Deck. Which method would you consider the easiest and most reliable for content from GOG, Ubisoft, Epic, etc…

    What I do is usually:

    • Install the game on my desktop PC.
    • Copy the files over to the Steam Deck via sftp
    • Use Desktop Mode to add it as a non-Steam game to the Steam Library
    • If it’s a Windows game, force Proton in the game’s properties in Steam
    • Use SteamGridDB (and sgdboop) to set a nice image for it.
