Hi everybody!

I’m using Linux Mint and I mostly play via Steam, but Metro Rexud 2033 was on giveaway in GOG so I would like to play that.

I have Wine installed but I ”locked” the version for a specific guitar app to work.

Which client etc would you suggest is the easiest for playing GOG games on Linux? I’m a noob and an idiot so please explain to me like i’m five years old.

Thanks for your help in advance!

I was going to say Lutris since that is what i'm using since forever for GOG Games. It even has it directly integrated nowadays and can be connected to your GOG account to basically one-click install the games you own.

But since everybody else here writes "Heroic"! i guess i have to give that a try now..

They both solve the same problem, but Heroic does it a little better by not needing the Epic launcher to be installed.

I still use Lutris for pirated games.
