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

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?

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.

Idk if anyone's done a one-handed hitless run of the game or anything crazy like that, and this is 100% not that (i get hit A LOT on these runs) but Im still pretty proud of this.
The emulator: https://rpcs3.net/ The rom: https://vimm.net/vault/24833 I forget if you need anything else but finding a video on YouTube is not very hard for rpcs3, a bit complicated, sorry I can't remember how to do it all, it's been a while.

A Comprehensive Guide to Methods for Playing the Sly Cooper Games
What you'll need: A PC with a decent CPU (RPCS3 tierlist of CPUs), a legally obtained copy of Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time (eBay link for physical; getting your own digital copies of PS3 games is a bit more complex and requires jailbreaking your PS3, I recommend MrMario2011's channel for any PS3 jailbreaking you need to do... or Google), and a PS3 emulator for PC (RPCS3 is the only one you should look at). Note that you can also run RPCS3 on Linux and macOS but I have no experience with that so any system requirements will have to be found by you). You also need a DualShock 4 (PlayStation Store link), a DualSense (PlayStation Store link), or another controller that has gyro functionality. There are other methods for bypassing gyro, such as emulating gyro (GitHub link for DualShock 4 emulator) or modifying your saves to skip past mandatory gyro sections of the game (PasteBin link for a tutorial). Also check out the RPCS3 wiki page for the game for any potential fixes.

Rokid Max Review and Many Tips
Finally, there is a sizeable catalog of PlayStation 3 games that support 3D, which you can output in SBS using the RPCS3 emulator. Their resolution is quite low but the stereo effect can still be impressive. Note that normally only half SBS is supported, but some games might have a community patch for widescreen resolutions, in which case full SBS might be possible. Make sure to set Configuration -> GPU -> 3D to "Side-by-side" before starting a game. This will tell the game that you are connected to a 3D display, in which case it would have an in-game option to enable stereoscopic 3D. You might also need to set the aspect ratio to 4:3. I can confirm that Prince of Persia Trilogy 3D works nicely. Note that you need a fairly beefy gaming rig to emulate PlayStation 3 well!
