I wouldn't call HGL a better UX. It straight up doesn't work for me. When it did, I couldn't get games to install or update and had to DL manually in browser, install into some other Wine prefix, and then manually move the files to an HGL-generated prefix. The UI looks nicer but it's not nearly as straightforward as Galaxy's. It's more like Lutris in its complexity, though I imagine there's no easy way around that.
