        As long as it doesn’t take a full minute to load any page and have 2 search bars that do different things in the game library, yes!

        Heroic is good for handling install/playing Epic games, but it still farms out to a web browser frame for accessing the store itself.

        I’m thinking OP has something like the GOG Galaxy in mind (which afaik will never come to Linux and I’m still pissed about it).

            Steam workshop hogging all mods pisses more. Especially if you have the game from GoG. Yes, steamcmd, but usability is bad with 200 mods.
