Looking for an alternative game library manager similar to GOG Galaxy
I like https://github.com/tkashkin/GameHub. However, it has some caveats.
-
Anyone using a launcher?
Right now there's Steam, Heroic (Epic, Gog), Itch, Gamejolt, Humble, etc. Nothing really integrates all of them except GameHub and it's inactive and doesn't have EGS support.
-
Is the Gamehub official site legitimate?
The Github directs users to https://tkashkin.tk , which redirects to a very sketchy site/sites.
-
Any Third-Party steam clients?
Some that I have found: - GameHub (Neat project, but does not support the usage of proton or wine for steam games - PlayNite (Only supports Windows at the moment, Linux support will come some time in the future) - steam-tui (A little too bare-bones for my taste)
-
What frontend do you use ?
Attract mode and GameHub also support adding other games besides emulated ones.
-
App ideas for GNOME (GTK4) Vala?
Idk if this is up your alley, but gamehub is a program I use daily and from what github reports, it's 95% vala.
-
New user here; in my opinion, Linux gaming is already nearly identical to gaming on Windows
Bonus: Since you mentioned GOG and some ROMs, check out Gamehub, it's a game launcher (like Lutris) that combines gog, itch, humble, steam and emulators. Looks really nice and its pretty easy to use. Specifically for GOG it has a way to automatically download and install the games on your account.

how can I sync my GOG Galaxy cloud game or download my save files? (Blasphemous, Gamehub)
There is the GameHub issue related to this: https://github.com/tkashkin/GameHub/issues/630 documentation linked there is made by us - the Heroic team.

GOG finally remove the false "in progress" note about GOG Galaxy for Linux
I use GameHub for managing Gog games, it even has joypad support.

What's the best or easiest frontend for installing games from GOG?
Personally I use mini galaxy. https://sharkwouter.github.io/minigalaxy/

GoG survey: Time to nag them about Linux support
Minigalaxy is great for native apps. Lutris is hit or miss for wine/DVXK.
-
This is goodbye, but is it forever?
E.g. Minigalaxy offers many of GoG Galaxys features (Tagging /u/anevilduck here in case he doesn't know it) and only has around 13500 lines of Code.
-
Valve has set the bar pretty high, but It'd be nice if anyone else at least did the bare minimum
The official client isn't, but there is a 3rd party one available for Linux https://github.com/sharkwouter/minigalaxy

How to Install And Play GOG Games on Linux With Minigalaxy – A Simple GOG Client for Linux - Wine
https://sharkwouter.github.io/minigalaxy/

Thinking of switching to linux
So long as you have a Vulkan capable GPU, you should be able to get almost all GOG games working. You could use Lutris with GOG Galaxy, Lutris with GOG offline installers or MiniGalaxy.
-
I'm thinking of changing over to Linux exclusively for a gaming exclusive set up. Is this sensible or should I remain on Windows?
HeroicGamesLauncher / MiniGalaxy: Launcher alternative for the EpicGamesLauncher / GoG.
- Minigalaxy version 1.2.2 released
-
Playnite 10 has been released. Open source video game library manager.
Besides there are other projects like https://github.com/sharkwouter/minigalaxy that has some of their coding from PlayNite and of their own to work on Linux and there are Tutorials like https://playnite.link/forum/thread-1156.html to make it work nonetheless. Also thanks to Steam's Proton layering, everything is easier at Linux gaming side.
