I get the free games via the site but I dont use windows so I've never even tried to play them. I'd rather support valve who have really went all in on Linux gaming.

I know it is possible to get some of epic ones working via lutris but I'm not that bothered to be honest.

For what it’s worth, the Heroic Games launcher works out of the box for me on Mint, it also handles GOG

Also works with Amazon and the free games you get with Prime

What? I've never heard of this? I have prime, where do I get my free shit?

You can also log into your Epic/Gog/Origin/Ubisoft accounts via Lutris and install the games via that.

You can yeah, I’ve just had major trouble getting Lutris to work on my system

For anyone interested in running epic games on linux, try heroic launcher.
