Cartridges - A Libadwaita game launcher
Hi! The app is not yet available on Flathub. You can download the .flatpak file from here and then install it by double clicking on it or with flatpak install /path/to/file/hu.kramo.Cartridges.flatpak.

Cartridges - Beta testers needed
The app is mostly ready and I plan on publicly releasing it next week, but I would like to make sure that everything works as intended by then. If you would like to help test out the application, you can download the beta.
For the past few months, I've been working on Cartridges. A simple game launcher for all your games.

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.
