But the new "Preview" app "will have some bugs," Epic warns.

      I love steam but I have to admit it’s rather slow both on Windows and Linux.

      Isn’t steam kind of web based and so always a bit slow because of that ?

        I guess I can’t really relate. Games usually launch within 3-5 seconds for me. Sometimes it can take longer when it has to do whatever it does with vulkan shaders, but that’s usually only first time launches or after some updates.

      Steam is significantly slower to open that Heroic or Lutris.

      I do, but there is an issue with lauchers in general. Not just steam.
