You can use Heroic game launcher for Epic games and few other launchers. There is no way to use official launcher as far as I know.

You would have to install via Wine, and that's what some people do, iirc. All of your games would be installed in that prefix, rather than their own. I think one of the benefits is more reliable cloud saves, though I haven't personally done that or had problems with Heroic.
