Any down side to adding a non steam game to a steam account? (lemmy.world)

Is there any side effect of adding it to steam as a non steam game?

For example on the windows side would I now need to do the same? I am going to be adding (or plan to add) guild wars 2 to steam as a non steam game in Linux. Will i have to do the same in windows? Are there any other down sides that I should be aware of?

I'll be running guild wars 2 through proton under steam.

All that does is creating a sort of shortcut link to the NSG in your library, and giving you the overlay. Shouldn't be a problem to add or remove it

It is asking me where to install it. What would you suggest?

This is what I’m seeing (sorry for the potato quality)
