    I should get more things on gog.

    Steam just makes things work on linux without issue so thats why we still get steam games.

      Heroic launcher pretty much does the same for GOG games. Sad that it needs a third-party launcher, but it works quite well.

        I guess I have to give Heroic a try. I’ve been using lutris but the auto-generated install scripts are kind of a hit and miss due to gog changing their naming convention on some games.

          Heroic lets you log in on your GOG, Epic, and Amazon accounts and then can install your games directly from your library and sets up Proton like on Steam. It’s not 100% as user-friendly, but it’s pretty effective.

      You can add any gog game to steam and run it through whatever proton compatibility layer you would like. The Heroic launcher and Lutris both also allow this.
