Does Heroic work as a local game launcher (.sh scripts only)?

I haven't tried it myself, but searching seems to show that Heroic should launch sh scripts. Don't use the Flatpak version of Heroic as that will cause file permission issues.

Just use flatseal to add permissions

Good call

Thanks. I'm wanting to move away from Lutris as it's been a long time since I've used its internal launchers, and also I want to move to something with a better user interface.

Yes it works fine for that. I use it to launch the Linux native version of Vintage Story.
