Best game launchers/front-ends for Linux?

[OilFreak]

I'm looking for something fancy, with background music. Think PS4/PS5 menu's. Steam big picture mode runs like ass on my RTX 3060, even with hardware acceleration enabled.

Bottles if you want something good looking.
Lutris if you want more options.

If you want Retro games, use Pegasus. (it works with steam and other stores as well, but its especially made for Retro games)

Heronic Launcher if you use GOG, Epic Games or Amazon.

I don't trust Lutris. It's convenient, but it doesn't do anything you can't easily do yourself with Winetricks etc. And Drew Devault is a huge nutjob with really poor leadership skills.

Heroic is Electron-based so expect lag, but it is the best way to access EGS
