    To anyone with Linux gaming experience, how is gog gaming on Linux? I’m aware of Lutris, but is it quite as seamless as Steam?

      i use Heroic Games Launcher, and while the experience isn’t as seamless as steam (or GOG Galaxy on windows), it works pretty well!

      it does the 3 things I need most from a game launcher well: install games, manage games, play games

      It isn’t as seamless as Steam, but using Lutris or Heroic are the way to go if the games doesn’t have a native Linux version available on gog

        I would so much rather buy games from GOG but their Linux integration is just so much worse than Steam Big Picture, and I only play games using Linux from a couch with a controller.

        Yes, it works, and I can and have done it for some titles, but it’s nowhere near ideal.

      Just tried Cyberpunk, so not generaly speaking, the only extra step was that I had to select what I wanted to download.
