I had more luck using steam. Adding installer or exe as non steam game. There was only one game that did not work and worked on bottles/lutris. There was a lot more that worked on steam and didnt work on bottles/lutris. And I feel it is a lot less complicated. You just add the game and change comp. settings to proton and thats it. If it was installer, you add the new exe to the steam or edit shortcut.
I find if it has an installer and it's not covered by Heroic or Lutris, it's easier to use WINE directly rather than Steam. Bottles is just doing that with a nice GUI, which'll certainly help new people. I've used it to install old games on my Steam Deck that GOG doesn't cover and it did a good job, any issues were from WINE or a component not being installed.
