If you have a lot of the free Epic Game Store games(I have upwards of 200), then installing the Heroic Launcher isn't a bad idea. Many of the games will require switching versions of Wine or Proton, and some won't work at all. For specific games you can always Google which version work best.

Other recommendations:
-Textured touchpad protectors for better feeling. My son has the Carbon Fiber, which I prefer to the Mini Hex I have. These are expensive at $13, but I wouldn't want to go without them.

-If you have a 64GB or 256GB unit and have worries about screen scratches, then I'd recommend amFilm screen protectors. You get 3 for $9. The clarity is great. I didn't trust that my son would keep his 256GB unit's screen safe, so I slapped one on.

-Big, fat microSD card. Nothing smaller than a 512GB, 1TB is ideal. Make sure it's a reputable brand, not a cheap knockoff. I initially bought a SanDisk 256GB for my son, but it was too small, so we upgraded him to an affordable TeamGroup 512GB microSD for $52, and I ended up using the 256GB in my 512GB unit until I can buy a bigger size.

-If you have Game Pass PC/Ultimate, then consider dual-booting SteamOS+Windows 10/11. If you don't want to dual-boot, you can use xCloud through SteamOS using Microsoft's tutorial to smoothly integrate it into your library with correct artwork and controller functionality.
