From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Game scope is a micro-compositor, it’s how the Steamdeck handles games and probably steam. Basically the settings there, you can have the game in 1080p but upscaled by FSR/DLSS to 4k. The difference is that only the game is upscaled, not the whole system
Heroic is a launcher for Epic, Amazon, and GOG
Yes, it can be seen as an alternative to Bottles/Lutris but the stores and libraries are baked in
What is that?
So why would I use this in HGL instead of Steam?
Displaying stuff to the screen, the game will tell it “draw this”
If your library is in the other things then you can take advantage of the technology in those games
Gamescope should have lower latency in going from game to screen
