Thanks for the video Titus. I'm one of the main devs of Heroic and the project is quite new. But we are working hard to improve the product and fix those bugs and add more functionalities. Stay tuned for the next releases. We will also start supporting other stores in the future. :D

when some random unofficial launcher looks better than the official one

*This Launcher Is EPIC, Thanks Chris!*

The moment my games can run on linux, windows goes out the "window"

Chris you are awesome, you had the final puzzle piece I needed to get this working on the Steam Deck. Hats off to you sir!

Chris how about make each section of your debloat script a tabbed section. In choco app section make it like ninite list multiple apps with checkbox so after i ticked my choiced app and hit install button your script could install all for me so i wont have to click install separately for each app which i need to do with the current debloat script. Also if possible make a button which upon click creates a task schedule to auto update apps every week. Just a pass thought.

And thanks for all your videos they are very helpful specially debloat script.

I got Rage 2 for free and other free games from Epic and this works brilliantly.

It's essentially just an Electron-GUI frontend for legendary (yes, it uses legendary underneath). Funny enough, it's still starts up faster and is leaner than the actual Epic Games Launcher, which is just an embarrassment at this point.

Navi works well too on Linux, no issues these days. Chris, I don't understand why you bought that NVidia card while you already were on Linux. :)

[JBurky]

This is cool for the games side of things. Just wish there was an easy way to get marketplace assets to the Unreal Engine on Linux.

[billpatterson]

As another person already asked, I too would like to know how you got Proton as an option in the Wine tab.

[nelizmastr]

This is so much better than installing the epic launcher via Lutris and then installing from within a wine container.

Probably going to give Linux gaming a go again soon. Tried it for a month before and it was really not bad.
Hopefully they also finally patched the multi-monitor glitch on Navi cards. That was a real deal breaker.

Pretty smooth I am definitely going to try it out.

[archernorico]

hello sir can you find a way to run genshin impact on linux so i can use linux as my main os

[adamlipowski]

Thank you for the video and the devs for great product. I was looking for an easy way to use proton with my epic games and this works great.

[wouter]

This is perfect... Wanted to play Pine on my Ubuntu 20.04 LTS with my Nvidia GTX 960... works perfect by using a GloriousEgroll build... I love it!!!

[syedahkam]

I've tried this before. Rocket League works like a charm!

[andromydous]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you can't have Heroic without having Legendary. To my understanding, Heroic is the frontend gui for Legendary.

I suspected a skip of video on launching Civ VI and yes it happens in this video also ;) Little friendly hint. You can not play Civ VI with Proton and its forks, either by starting the game on Dx11 or Dx12 you will get a total black or gray window, No video no sound just the poor cursor and Alt-Tab ability to end it. Not even tricking Steam to launch it from outside. Been there done that. Only Civ VI in native mode works.

I typed Heroic in the Konsole, it did the rest. Logged into Epic and good to go :)
