any word on GOG offering links to upgrade to linux, i think it would speed things up, right now we are almost at the part where the mortally wounded leviathan trashes everything about in its final death throes.

it really would be nice for early emancipators to have a comfortable landing, and avoid being subject to collateral damage.

I suspect they would put out a GOG Galaxy that works on Linux well before promoting it on their web site that aggressively.

im thinking a GOG box distro [like a KODI box] so there would be less compromise in order to be an OS, and focus on a more console-like UX.

im thinking it doesnt have to work "on linux" it has to allow gaming on a linux kernal.

I'm not familiar enough beyond casual use of Steam on Linux and a few one-offs to know the current state of gaming... but can only posit that a GoG installer/launcher for Linux that uses Proton (like Steam) wouldn't hurt.

This is pretty much what Lutris does. I'm using it with already downloaded GOG installers, and Lutris' crowd-sourced install scripts. It looks like they do account integration, so it might be possible to directly download and install games.

It can run things with regular wine or proton installed by steam. There is a lot of complexity compared to Steam or the GOG client.

There is the Heroic Game Launcher that also interfaces with the Epic Games Store.

To me GOG needs a big picture mode like Steam. I want my PC to act like a console and that would help a lot

Why not just add the GOG games to Steam as non Steam games? Isnt that better anyway than having to launch GOG from the Steam BPM just to launch a game from their BPM?

Why would i want to launch a seperate launcher to launch my games?
