GOG is sadly not at all linux friendly. Not a surprise, given the owner. You can look into lutris or GameHub and get the games to work via that.

- badsectoracula 6y agoGOG doesn't have to be Linux friendly if we're talking about Proton since the entire purpose of Proton is to be a Windows compatibility layer. Though GOG is Linux friendly, there are tons of games with Linux versions on it. The only thing you miss on Linux with GOG is GOG Galaxy but at least personally even though i use Windows i do not care much about Galaxy and instead i just download the games from the website (which notifies you if there are any updates).
- onli 6y agoGOG is owned by a company that refuses to make Linux versions of their games, after one experiment gone wrong, voicing that they are offended by received criticism over a game that plainly did not work and was not the announced native port. They have a Windows only client and put exactly zero resources into improving the state of Linux as a gaming platform. Compare that to Valve with Steam and Proton.
