Heroic Games Launcher is a new unofficial Epic Games Store for Linux
5 January 2021 at 7:25 pm UTC
I tried an earlier version, and it just had a login loop. Latest version says it changed that, but it never prompts for anything at all and just shows a blank window. It does show an error when run from CLI:
Error occurred in handler for 'readFile': TypeError: Cannot read property 'url' of undefined
at /opt/heroic/resources/app.asar/build/main.js:152:15
Meanwhile, legendary itself is working fine, at least to log in and list all the free games I claimed; I'm happy to cost Epic money.

Unfortunately, the pandemic didn't provide extra gaming time for me - e-commerce is booming these days. I've only played maybe 1% of what's in my Steam library. Looking at the history, here's what I enjoyed this year:
Whispers of a Machine - when asked if I've played Cyberpunk yet, I pointed at this one and said "kind of..."
Night of the Rabbit - Daedalic makes nice games; this was definitely not the silly humor of Deponia, but it was entertaining.
Agent A: A puzzle in disguise - kind of simplistic puzzle game, but done well enough
Darkestville Castle - a humorous adventure game
Strange Brigade - a fun action game, runs great with Proton
Beautiful Desolation - from the guys who did Cayne and Stasis; lovely graphics from them as usual. They are making a Stasis 2 but unfortunately won't commit to Linux support on that one.
Sol 705 - quirky adventure game; not the best, but decent for a one man production
Guard Duty - another humorous adventure game (can you tell I like those?)
Supraland - mostly before he dropped Linux support. He kept breaking it in updates, then dropped it. Seems to work fine with Proton, but was annoyed (especially since he had just finished the Kickstarter for the sequel, which promised Linux support), so just haven't gone back to it so far. Maybe he'll bring back Linux support when he has to do it for the sequel, or maybe he'll just be a dick and cancel that despite it being promised.
My Brother Rabbit - kind of a hidden object game, but I enjoyed it
Kathy Rain - from the same people that did Whispers of a machine; they do nice work

I could have sworn it said remix before, since it had all been bundled before. But I must have imagined that...

NVIDIA release big new Linux driver with 460.27.04, LunarG Vulkan SDK Ray Tracing ready

I wasn't clear on that bit. It sounded like using that extension just happened to work around stupid bugs in the game. So if the game gets good bugfixes, then that extension is probably unnecessary. After all, it mostly works on Nvidia already (with probably the same amount of crashing that is seen on Windows, from what I've heard).

Valve continues tweaking the new 'Proton Experimental' for Cyberpunk 2077

Seems like gamemode support is something they should add into Proton - unless there are some Windows games where it has undesirable side effects? I'm not saying gamemode should be required, but rather it should be automatically used when present, like Feral's games.
