Seems like every week over on GamingOnLinux there's an announcement of a new launcher.

Personally I only use Steam & Lutris. Lutris for my gog games and BattleNet, Steam for everything else.

I don't know of a good reason to use Heroic, or any of the other new ones over Lutris / Steam, but maybe I'm missing out.

I use Lutris, Bottles, Heroic, and Steam depending

Heroic I use for the regular free game from epic, Steam for steam games, Lutris and Bottles I pretty much use for everything else, starting on one, and if it doesn't work (as happens sometimes) trying the other

Probably not the most efficient way to do things, but it works for me

What does Bottles do that others don't? I'm just curious.

I find that Bottles is more like just setting up your own wine prefix and keeping it organized. I was a Lutris user for years, but switched to Bottles last year and never looked back.
