Unfortunately, GOG does not offer a client for Linux that you can use.

You can use any of the following game clients on Linux:

• Lutris
• Heroic Games Launcher
• Bottles

I found Lutris to be the easiest, and quickest to be able to run a Windows-exclusive GOG game on Linux. So, let me start with it…

I found Lutris to be a complete pain. GOG Galaxy in Bottles and Heroic Games Launcher have been much better.

I have been using Lutris but I am always happy to learn! Do you know a good guide you could point me towards to get started with Galaxy in Bottles?

This has the process:

https://docs.usebottles.com/bottles/installers#use-installers

It’s pretty much install bottles>>create bottle>>click on install programs>>GOG Galaxy

That said I’ve just started using Heroic Games Launcher and I think I prefer that. Granted I haven’t done too much with it yet.

Heroic was the closest to a steam-like experience for GOG games to me. (While having a very Epic-esque UI).

Lutris worked OK. But seemed to need more tweaking to make things work.
