      How is GOG? I haven’t used it and have heard noth sides. Owning it alone makes it worth looking at.

        It’s quite alright, but the platform hasn’t really grown in a while outside of its available catalogue. Gog galaxy is still in beta I think and it also still has no Linux launcher yet. Still good for the no DRM part tho

          I’m about to blow all windows out of my non-work life. So dunno how good that will mix.

            You don’t actually need gog galaxy, though. It’s just an optional launcher.

            I just download it directly from the website and install it myself

            Between Lutris and Heroic Launcher I have been able to get every game I play running. Some took some tweaking (Fall Guys and Rocket League the most), but they all run and work with online play now.

              Thank you, and since I’m not replying to everyone thank you all. I’ll give that a good look when I begin my linux gaming journey this winter break. Luckily my week knows we’re children and we get this off.

                Protondb has a lot of comments on each game as to how to get it running. That’s always my first stop if something doesn’t run immediately in a launcher.

            For Linux you can use Heroic if you want a launcher. Otherwise you can just download the installers on their website.

        It’s pretty good they do a good job of keeping old games available in a decent state

        You can download offline installers that don’t require an internet or licence key to install, so if you back them up I’d say you own them to the same degree you’d own a game on optical media
