Same thing I've seen past 60 days with Lemmy. The major sites throwing massive hardware. "Wow, Lemmy now deletes a single post in 7 seconds".
Legendary, my beloved.
I just use Playnite as the frontend for everything and Epic loads a lot faster when the actual client doesn't need to fully kick up. Same for Steam, Ubisoft, EA etc.
Sadly it only supports Windows.
Wouldn't Heroic be a better option on Linux? It supports both Epic and GOG.

Playnite looks very good. So it's just a launcher and games manager that doesn't also try to be a store, chat client, advertising platform, and social media site?
Amazing!
I dunno if that's worse or if they play sims on it
Fun fact: When the epic games launcher crashes it shows a unreal engine error window, hinting at the possibility that EGL might be an application made in Unreal Engine.
