I am freaking out on how well distrobox is working for me. I buy a lot of games on itch.io and GOG, and neither have a flatpak. However, installing an Ubuntu container (max compatibility) and launching games from there just works. Okay, I have yet to install a GOG game, but it the Itch client works then what won't?

I am so excited. Containers are so fun. I guess arch would be easier, but whatevs.

Use the heroic launcher or lutris flatpaks for those. I know as a fact that lutris supports both.

I am really keen on Lutris. Nothing beats it for downloading GOG games, not even the galaxy launcher.
