Is something like this even possible?

GOG Galaxy is a frontend for a whole bunch of game stores, including Steam and Epic. Even does things like messaging and activity reporting cross platform. On the Linux side I know Lutris does some Steam management.
You can use the command line version of Steam to do some stuff, but because that’s the only real API, all alternative frontends involve installing some version of Steam.
Playnite would be in the same category, I suppose.
I would very much recommend Playnite, a centralized launcher for games on all kinds of launchers.
You basically enable plugins for shops like GOG, Steam or whatever, it scans all games and then you got a central interface. It automatically launches say Steam, then the game, and on exit closes steam again.
For awhile I was doing shortcuts in a folder lol
- Lutris can work as more of an alternative launcher (and can handle picking the best Proton version)
- AdwSteamGtk is a GTK (Adwaita) wrapper
- ProtonUp-Qt is a little standalone tool for managing compatibility tools for Wine and Steam (including Proton GE, Luxtorpeda, Boxtron, etc.)
Piracy
That’s not what they’re asking about.

A lot of the time there are options that no longer work or are bad in other ways (lying, stealing data, unreliable)
