Other people have mentioned Heroic as another Gog client

Well colour me intrigued - and also abysmally ignorant - I hadn't followed them initially, because I was never interested in the Epic Store, but checking them out again just now, the project has just easily grown into something amazing and far beyond the initial scope!

I wish GOG's client was native to Linux, but in lieu of that Heroic is the next best client I have tried.

AFAIK Heroic is more or less officially supported by GOG, they even have a affiliate deal when you buy games from within the launcher

Heroic is pretty much flawless for me. It flakes out less than Linux Steam, honestly. I'm looking at it right now, and it picked up all my GOG installs, it keeps them updated and it does support cloud saves on GOG, although it's in beta and they caveat enough to make you think twice.

Heroic works perfect on steam deck.
