Can anyone with Bazzite experience tell me how it handles games with third party launchers like EA or Ubisoft? You can't seem to be able to escape those these days and they are buggy even on Windows so I don't have high hopes for Linux.

Uplay can sometimes be an ahole but it's that way on Windows too. EA and Rockstar launchers have been fine through Steam. A friend bought RDR2 directly from Rockstar has issues with Rockstar launcher outside of Steam. Use Heroic for Epic and GOG.

Well, Anno 2040 works, I wouldn't know about EA, as their only games I own are the free ones from their store, and I haven't tried that in a long time. If time allows, I'll try to install something of theirs and let you know.

They work fine for me, but I use Mint.

So far I've not had any trouble with them, running bazzite on a GPD Win Mini
