    Kind of. You can install stuff like lutris or steamdeck plugins that connect to gog and download games for you

    The cover question is: do the games support Linux? And with proton, a lot of them do

      I’d recommend Bottles over Lutris due to the latter’s unfortunate use of LLMs/AI.

      What does the “Linux” filter refer to then?
      https://www.gog.com/en/games/new?systems=linux

      Edit: I tried with a random free game. Provided was a shell script with binary data appended to it.

        Native supported Linux games. Why?

          So Linux users can install the game without having to use some translation software like Proton.

            Depends on the game. A giant part of their library is, well, good old games, that only run on Windows natively

          Yeah, I thought that was the question. I never considered downloader/launcher, or whatever their software does.
