  • Same here. I had nearly all the XCOM2 DLC purchased from GOG, and then Steam ran a sale on the bundle that was cheaper than buying the last piece to complete the collection! Since then I think GOG have run similarly cheap sales, but it wasn’t the last time I saw that happen.

    I know launchers like Heroic are available, and I use it for some of my games from them, but I actually liked the Galaxy launcher on Windows. I wasn’t linking it to anything else though, so I didn’t run into the issues you mention.

    It’s sad, because I think they could do well in the Linux community. Hopefully they eventually start supporting it, but until then I’ll be buying most of my games from the company that’s actively contributing and improving things for the community.


  • I used to purchase everything I could from GOG until I switched to Linux full time. I still like the company and buy some from them, but until they become more Linux friendly or Steam gets worse I’ll still prioritize Steam now. And it’s not only the (very odd) resistance to making a Linux version of Galaxy, I’ve also seen them not offer Linux versions of games even when the developers have released it on other platforms.










  • I’m amazed by how well it works, Proton is literally a game changer! Most of my games are older too, but I purchased the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and Farming Simulator 25 on launch day or soon after with zero Linux associated issues. Not being very interested in multiplayer games helps a lot. My only multiplayer game is Elder Scrolls Online, and they’ve made Steam Deck specific tweaks, so I’m lucky there!
