    Yet they barely support playing on an OS you actually own and only really support the proprietary DRM-filled Windows

      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.
