MODERATORS
you game pass/microsoft store games are probably fucked, but steam, epic, and gog all should work on linux just fine (except maybe those that need anticheat)
for steam just use the official client, and you can play epic and gog through the Heroic launcher which is actually significantly nicer than epic games launcher or whatever
the distro doesn't matter really, just use mint or something
You'd recommend Heroic launcher over Lutris? Epic didn't install via Lutris for me, but I haven't got around to looking into it.
I've used both, and I've found that Heroic is much easier and generally works out of the box. At this point, I only use Lutris for things that need extremely fine-grained control.
I use heroic because it uses an epic games store emulator instead of actually using the epic games store, and so it's way faster and nicer than the shitty official binary running under wine or whatever (which is what lutris does)
