These are the core application I install to game on Linux. I prefer to use the the native rpm packages if available as there is no need to tweak permissions to get the programs to work with each other.

Heroic Games Launcher

A game launcher that works with Epic Games, GOG, and Amazon.

sudo dnf copr enable atim/heroic-games-launcher -y

Update and Reboot

I run the update command used previously to make sure that everything is up to date and purge any dependencies that are no longer needed:

sudo sh -c 'dnf upgrade --refresh -y; dnf autoremove -y; dnf clean all' ; flatpak update -y

And then reboot:

sudo reboot now

Maintinence

Keeping things up to date is important, so I typically run the commands listed at the beginning of this page to update using dnf and flatpak. You can always use the Software Store to do this, but I find it quicker and easier to simply run these commands. The terminal will keep a history of commands you have used and using the up and down arrow keys, you can simply scroll through and use them again.
