Of course, Steam Linux support is miles ahead
what do you mean by that?
Heroic/Minigalaxy/Lutris + Gog is just on equal footing.
Yes, but that is not GOG supporting Linux. Steam on the other hand goes out of their way to support Linux. And the solution you mentioned wouldn't even be working all that well if steam hadn't brought proton to the scene. I know wine has been there forever, but only since proton the game compatibility shot through the roof.
I'm not disagreeing, but Steam went out of their way to support Linux because they needed to, when they first dipped their toes in selling hardware (Steam Machine, circa 2013 I think).
GOG had no incentive to do so when Linux gaming was such a small slice of their pie. And now that it's growing fast, they still have no incentive to do so, because third parties are already doing the work for them.
At the end of the day, we gamers are still the beneficiaries of the immense effort of CDPR, Valve, and the whole open source community.
They didn't need to, they could have built SteamOS on top of Windows (much worse, but probably still acceptable given the Decks competition that runs Windows).
