For my GoG games I install them in desktop mode with Heroic, and then Heroic has an option to add them to Steam. After doing that, I can launch them from the Steam Deck's gaming mode. It's still a hassle, but a minor one.
I've been doing it with Lutris. I'm sure with a little tweaking I could make it work. I think I just ended up not messing with it anymore. It's a TV PC but I was already set up for years for TV-front gaming. I can totally play KB/M games on it if I want, comfortably. So messing with the gaming mode was just a novelty at best. I also tried Bazzite first, then Arch, before settling on Nobara for the last year or so and I'd kinda gotten used to being past that.
I do need to play with Heroic someday. I've never cared too much to have a mega game launcher though. I actually prefer my emulators to stand alone in particular.
I think of Heroic as more like my GoG launcher, I know it can do other things but I don't really do any of that.
The important thing, to me, is that it handles GoG achievements with no further fuckery. Even when I launch a game via the shortcuts it makes in Steam.
