I had been using Heroic Launcher to manage my GOG library on Linux. It works well enough, but an official Linux native GOG client would certainly be welcome.

    Why? It's already annoying to have to use steam and heroic. Why would anyone want a third app?

    Heroic has some issues (i.e. Stellaris) that require some sort of annoying work around that doesn't really work sometimes. GOG could not have those issues.

    Heroic is limited to just GOG and Epic, while GOG Galaxy on Windows is already trying to be a sort of everything launcher. This means GOG Galaxy on Linux would be more like a replacement of Lutris (which is no longer being developed) than Heroic.

    I would imagine that you'd still be able to use Heroic for GOG
