I am wondering how people are managing their Windows GOG games on Linux. Obviously the base game works fine on Steam Proton, but I run into trouble when I try to install DLC. If I add the addons to Steam, they can’t see the base game, as they are a separate instance/container.
Is there some way I can get around this, and run the DLC installers in the same Proton instance as the base game? Is there another solution for managing Proton that isn’t Steam, which allows this? A whole third option I haven’t thought of?
Thank you.

Please stop suggesting Heroic; I saw it the first 10 times.
I’m curious as to why you chose not to just use Heroic, since it automatically installs the DLC.
That’s a huge piece of software to do this one thing…
Heroic does a lot more than this one thing. How do you plan on keeping the game updated? Are you going to go through the process of installing the DLCs again any time they are updated? Or are you planning on just never updating?
How would I keep an offline installer updated? I don’t think you understand what the usecase is, here. I don’t legally own Stellaris on GOG. If I did, I’d just play the linux native version they provide.
Then I would suggest downloading a repack with all the DLC already installed. I believe Fitgirl and DODA both have downloads for that.
They are not up to date on any sources I trust downloading from.
I appreciate your input. A different, more suitable solution has been found.
