>I would suggest GOG is a better candidate.

I love the idea of GOG, and I ADORE that they're making old games available (GOG peeps, if you're reading this, civ 2 please!), but if I were a PC gamer I'd buy through steam just for proton compatibility on linux. It's that good.

As a steam deck user, I wish GoG would do something to better support it and linux. I bought CP2077 on GoG and now I kind of wish I hadn't. Everything from steam just works so well from the moment of purchase. I wouldn't even mind an extra step of having to load up GoG galaxy to download stuff and then have it set it up to run in the deck launcher. But getting stuff from steam is just so smooth. And things like the shader precompilation can really make a world of difference to the overall experience.
