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.

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

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.

Wine, Winetricks, Wineglass
There are plenty of ways to use GoG on Linux. You could download offline installers of games and run them with Lutris. In fact, Lutris seems to have it's own GoG integration (I haven't tried this though). Otherwise e.g. minigalaxy exists.
- For those who use Linux, which OS? I am looking for something that can do gaming & school work. I am a beginner.

GOG-Client MiniGalaxy
I am new to Bodhi-Linux and I would like to know if there is a way to install the Gog client MiniGalaxy (https://sharkwouter.github.io/minigalaxy/) in Bodhi-Linux. I couldn't find it in the package management and I'm not very familiar with compiling it myself.
-
Heroic Games Launcher is now on Flathub!
As someone who already uses MiniGalaxy, is there any benefit of also using Heroic Launcher? It appears the two install games differently, as Heroic cannot detect MG's installed games. My primary purpose is simply an installer which I can link via Steam for Steam Input (for my steam controller primarily, but also so I remember to play my darn games).

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.
