To achieve this, we will use Lutris, a universal platform that integrates with these gaming services, as well as game console emulators.
Step 1. Install the latest GPU drivers.
However, before installing Lutris, you will first need to install the latest supported GPU driver for your hardware.
AMD drivers.
For example, if you have AMD hardware, assuming you've kept your system up to date, you'll already be running the latest drivers because they usually come pre-installed.
However, do not install the drivers for Linux available on the AMD website as they are designed for workstation use and not for gaming.
NVIDIA drivers.
Alternatively, if you have an Nvidia graphics card, then you will need to manually install the official proprietary driver.
Although most Linux distributions preinstall the driver as part of the overall Linux installation process, or offer a GUI tool to install the driver after installation.
Again, do not install the drivers available on the Nvidia site, use the method recommended by your distribution.

Alternatively, if you want to go the Terminal route, there is excellent documentation on the Lutris wiki that covers installing AMD and Nvidia hardware for a wide range of Linux distributions.
Step 2. Install Lutris.

When it comes to installing Lutris, my recommendation would be to use the Flatpak version, which incidentally is the only supported method for installing Lutris on Steam Deck.
The main reasons for this installation method are that it will ensure that you have all the dependencies from the different game stores and that you are running the latest version, regardless of your Linux distribution.

So, to install Lutris Flatpak, first enable Flatpak support for your system using the relevant Linux distribution instructions, if you haven't already.
Once finished, install Lutris with your distribution's software store, usually Gnome Software or KDE Discover, then launch it when ready.
Step 3. Install a game store.
So, to install a game store, click on the symbol at the top left, then on the option /"Search for installers on the Lutris site./"
Next, look for the game store, for example Ubisoft Connect, which should appear in the list, so select that option.
From there, it's usually a matter of going through the installation process, specifying an installation location, and then clicking Install to begin the process, which should be largely automated.
And, once the installation process is completed, close the window.
Now when you go to the Games section of the Library, you should see the games store you just installed, so double-click or select, then press Play to launch.
In most cases there will be a pending update and a request to log in with your credentials, but once that's done the game store should load as expected.
From there, install all games normally, then press Play to launch the game. In most cases, unless it's not compatible with Linux, which is usually due to anti-cheat, you should expect the game to load.
As mentioned earlier, Lutris is directly integrated with many gaming services. So, if you click under the Sources section and log into the service, you will see all the games you can install.
