      I mean, that’s the only issue.

      I put Steam on my Gentoo. Because it works, and I get 0 hassle gaming experience.

      Guess who gets my money?

        Yeah, I don’t really understand that either. What’s wrong Heroic? It’s not quite Steam, but pretty good. And no DRM is definitely a plus.

          Heroic is a third-party hack. It isn’t an official solution. If Heroic died then we’d need another option. It’s great, but it’d be better if GOG officially released their own client that worked with Linux.

          What’s wrong Heroic?

          Not officially supported. Using the GUI with a controller is wonky.

            Big Picture mode in Steam is wonky as fuck for me

            Edit: Not sure why this is so controversial. It’s always been weirdly laggy, even in my old computer and at other people’s houses. To be fair, I haven’t tried Heroic, but I was never saying Steam was better/worse
