For most purposes, Heroic offers a much more user-friendly UI to Lutris, and can run custom launchers, as well as connect to a couple game stores.

100% this! I mostly use Steam but bought a game on GOG. Using Lutris was a giant pain and I felt thrown back to 15 years ago when I had to tinker with wine to get things running. Found Hero Launcher recommended somewhere and suddenly it “just works” again! Shame that GOG doesn’t have a native Linux client…

It's not official, but have you tried minigalaxy [1] ?
