Nice.
I have heroic launcher but I’ve only ever used it for games that I actually own through the Epic Games Store.
I use OpenSnitch to prevent any unwanted outbound communications from applications.
Otherwise I use Lutris for any windows games.
I recently started grabbing jc141 releases which are games specifically packaged for linux that are compressed into a dwarfs image that do not require extraction. Unfortunately they don’t work well on Linux Mint so I had to do a fair amount of finangling, with the help of various AI agents, to get them to run without having to extract everything. Essentially I had to install a linux distro that has all the libraries and whatnot needed to run them from the image in a container using Distrobox. Ubuntu 24.04 seemed to have what I needed to support my nvidia card and also have packages that the games need in order to run.
But overall I’m pretty much able to play anything that I would on Windows, but without worrying about viruses and trojans.

i wish various forms of that quite often
