Tags no longer register and i've finally had it with galaxy 2.0. Any recommended alternatives?
Heroic Games Launcher: Support is limited to Epic, GOG and Amazon but the advantage is that it can manage their games itself without the need of their own launchers. Doesn't have support for tags currently.

Making the switch - what are the gaps?
For "normal" games you could look yourself using ProtonDB regarding every game released on Steam and AreWeAntiCheatYet for most multiplayer games. If a game isn't available on Steam you have three possibilities. First if it's available on GOG, Epic Games or Amazon Gaming, you could use the Heroic Games Launcher. Second you could try to run the launchers through Steam itself using once again Proton. Third you could try installing it with a script or tutorial in Lutris or Bottles.

According to a survey, only 36% of PC gamers buy games at full price.
I use https://heroicgameslauncher.com/ instead

Been thinking of switching to linux but I am a noob

Are there any major sacrifices you make to play on Linux over Windows?
ProtonDB is a community list of Steam games rating their playability. Heroic launcher runs GOG and Epic games. Lutris and Bottles can be used to run everything else.

PSA: Cyberpunk's Phantom Liberty DLC has DRM on GoG
I was a little confused when I updated my Cyberpunk install using the wonderful Heroic Games Launcher, only to find that the game now crashes during the initial load...

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.
-
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.
-
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 are your must-have software for Linux gaming?
I'm a stickler for UI consistency, so I keep all my games on GameHub. It's a bit more involved to get a game going there (compared to lutris install scripts) but I love that its basically portable and easy to restore after a reinstall (or copy the games and prefixes to another machine). It clumps my GOG, steam, native and emulated games all with the same tall boxart (like steam's newer library)
-
Is there any way to make playlists or add user-made tags in Lutris?
The app itself is quite good, but not as practical or functional as Lutris is or Steam, but you can give it a chance (you can use Proton/Wine, emulators, native, with it). If you download the Appimage format it doesn't need even any install (just make the file executable an run it). The main repo is in GitHub -right here-
-
Itch.io: Bundle for Ukraine 998 items lots of native and proton compatible games
I personally use Gamehub but I think Lutrus has embedded different stores into it's main UI. You can also add local games to steam but it doesn't have the flexibility of the other two in my experience.
-
GOG: There's no official GOG support for SteamDeck. But since the device has an open architecture, as we understand, you can install Windows and as such also run GOG games.
