NonSteamLaunchers is a project to help you easily install various external launchers / game stores on Steam Deck like EA App, Battle.net, Amazon, GOG Galaxy, Ubisoft and more. Recent releases have much improved automatic shortcut creation in your Steam Library.
Okay. You can easily do that with Lutris as well by just adding a non-Steam game. So if that’s the only real difference then I’ll stick with Lutris. Thanks.
NonSteamLaunchers is a project to help you easily install various external launchers / game stores on Steam Deck like EA App, Battle.net, Amazon, GOG Galaxy, Ubisoft and more.
Recent releases have much improved automatic shortcut creation in your Steam Library.
The feature first introduced in January, NonSteamLaunchers now has a scanning system to automatically add game shortcuts into your Steam Library from all these launchers.
Initially quite limited, the last few releases have expanded what launchers / stores it’s able to do it for.
As of version 3.8 released a couple of days ago it can now scan and add shortcuts for Epic Games, Ubisoft Connect, EA App, Gog Galaxy, Battle.net and Amazon Games.
They also have a Decky Loader plugin they’re working on, which you can test from their GitHub while they await approval to be included in the Decky Loader store.

How is this compared to Lutris? Especially for Epic Games and GOG titles.
The benefit is that you launch games from Steam rather than Lutris

Lutris and Heroic can both add steam shortcuts so you can launch from steam directly.
On mine, these shortcuts cause the game to run behind the steam loading icon, invisibly. :(
Is there any benefit to switching? Right now Heroic works well enough for launching any Epic/gog games I want
I use heroic now, but whatever works best at the time. Wish something would be better at setting/searching controller configs.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
