I couldn't get Minigalaxy to install any of my games when I tried it a year or so ago. I ended up just using Heroic Games Launcher and linking my GoG account to that, works like a charm.

I used PlayOnLinux exclusively a few years ago. It serves the same function as Lutris, essentially, but Lutris tends to be... Better, and easier to work with in my experience.
My main NCSoft experience is with the OG Guild Wars, what an amazing game. They don't make 'em like they used to... Lol!
#1 has gotta be Guild Wars 2. The content is engaging and fun, I adore the combat, and the COMMUNITY is the best! Such friendly folks there. It's definitely the MMO that has held my attention longest, and I recommend it to literally everyone. It's free to get started, so you can decide if it's for you without any monetary cost. Then, the price of the game is the cost of the expansions. No subscriptions like other MMOs, or xpaks + subs (looking at you, WoW!).
#2 is WoW. 😅 Been playing it since I was a kid. My whole family plays, actually, which is how I got into MMOs to begin with. It irks me that there's a substantial sub fee plus the cost of the new xpaks every time. Especially since I got back into it, I was going to hit max level before I picked up Dragonflight but the game actually stopped me from doing so. Couldn't go the last 10 levels to max until I bought the expansion.
#3 right now has to be Dungeons and Dragons Online. DDO is a lot of fun! I love the "dungeon master" narration of quests and things, I think it's a great gimmick.
Outside of that, my tier list really falls apart, lol. I have ESO, but I haven't given it enough time to actually decide if I like it. FF14 seems so much fun, but it's also a sub fee game and... I only have space in my life for one of those right now. 😅
Reaper Necro, so much fun! Nigh unkillable in overworld content as long as I'm actively engaging.
Been playing a lot of WoW recently, really loving all the content in Zandalar! Most fun I've had playing an MMO in a while.
On the single-player side of things, I played through Beasts of Maravilla Island! It's short, but sweet, and only $10 on Steam. It scratches the same itch as Pokémon Snap, and I've been desperate for new content like it since New Pokémon Snap isn't likely to get any new DLC... Ever.
It'll be loads easier. The Lutris installer is set up to automatically handle an error that Battle.net throws when you try to launch it, some BS about the way they package their QT platform. It's just a terminal command away from being fixed, but future updates run a real risk of breaking it again. It happened to me, and I spent ~30 minutes trying to get it to work again before I gave up and just... Reinstalled the damned thing with Lutris, and it worked like a charm.
Speaking of Diablo, I got a notification while I was typing this message... 😂
Personally I like to have as few launchers as possible for my games, lol. I have Steam and Lutris right now, but I'll probably install Heroic at some point for Epic Games content. I prefer the UI of Heroic to Lutris for GoG/Epic games, plus it's stupidly easy to claim the free Epic game from Heroic. I haven't tried it from Lutris to compare.
As I said in another comment, I probably would just run Steam/Heroic if it wasn't for World of Warcraft. Lutris is the easiest way to get it up and running on Linux.
Lutris is great especially if you have games that need a little tweaking that aren't a part of Steam, GoG, or Epic. If all your games are on one of those three, I'd stick with Steam/Heroic personally.
Lutris is the easiest way to get WoW up and running on Linux, for example. If it weren't for that, I probably wouldn't have Lutris on my PC.
My vote goes to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. It's a beautiful system, and the most stable rolling release I've ever had the pleasure of running. I've tried so many different distros, and I always end up coming back to OpenSUSE.
