I hate their monopoly, but every competitor sucks absolute ass. Epic Game Store gives me one or two free games per week, and I STILL don’t use the platform because the platform is aweful.
I understand there are ways to do it, but it really would be in their best interest to make a Linux client. One that implements proton in a similar fashion as steam would also be great. Even more ideally, they would add some features that does what emudeck does to auto add the games into the steam launcher on SD.
Valve has done the heavy work on proton. And obviously a good launcher isn’t simple, but I do think it would be worthwhile for them.
Don’t have a link or anything but it’s really not that hard, typically I install install it through something like lutris (by finding the exe with it), and then after it’s installed I find the exe for the game itself with steam by clicking add non steam games (under games in steam)
All that’s left after that is to go to the games properties on steam click compatibility, hit the check box, and make sure it’s using proton (preferably experimental)
I install the games and run them from the shortcut on my desktop, multiplayer works… Honestly, it does what it needs to do as a launcher and there’s extra crap, just not as much as there is on Steam 🤷 The best launcher would be no launcher but here we are…

Ive never had any issues with GOG.
GOG is superior at everything other than social features and server integration. Stuff like joining servers from your friends list etc.
DRM free games are worth that minor trade off so if it’s available on GOG I buy it there.
Another issue is the lack of linux support. Didn’t matter much until the steam deck came out. Hope that drives additional Linux support.
So just add it as a none steam game and use proton, it’s how I’ve been playing the Cyberpunk 2077 DLC on my SteamDeck

Whoa, that’s cool. What do you mean add it as a none steam game? Sny link with steps?

Thanks man! I’ll look it up and try it out.
