This is why I don’t like external launchers, or anything outside of Steam.
Valve spent 20 years figuring out the best way forward for a lot of things to make the gaming experience As easy as possible. So whenever someone takes a page and tries to imitate Valve, they’re missing the hundreds of other details. Epic Store, Sony’s move to digital only, games with launchers.
I don’t even like steam. I wish everyone would fuck off with these launchers. Especially considering the price of storage and memory in our hallucinatory times.
People keep downvoting you, but you speak the truth. GOG’s Linux support is a joke. If they were serious about Linux, they would’ve released an official version of Galaxy for it by now.
Gog sells native Linux Games, and the heroic games launcher is part of their partner program. Gog games run perfectly fine with wine/Proton and are the preferred way to play games on winlator.
The gog galaxy client might not be on Linux but that doesn’t even matter since heroic does everything galaxy does but better
Their native Linux games quite frankly suck and for the most part dont work, Steam uses a special Linux runtime that ensures that when you launch a native Linux game it works on all distros in the exact same way. Meanwhile most GOG Linux games only work on some version of Ubuntu from a decade ago.
The heck are you on about? Any game that I buy on GOG, I will just use it with Proton through Heroic Launcher, just like I would on Steam. No discernible difference.
As a Valve fan, this doesn’t have anything to do with forcing everything onto Steam. It’s an issue with games having DRM and phoning home to servers for no fucking reason.

Mate, gog does game ownership leagues better than steam
Yet they barely support playing on an OS you actually own and only really support the proprietary DRM-filled Windows
