If we could somehow merge steam's linux support, with GOG's dedication to DRM-free preservation of games

I really tried to support GOG for a long time, but steam was much easier when i went 100% linux

I haven't had any issues with gig + lutris, quite a smooth experience actually.

Though most of the games in my library are older tbf.

Steam has been so easy since proton, i honestly never learned to use lutris. I think i played with it once and gave up, but this was 6 years ago at this point. Maybe its easier to use now

I was also in your position.

Tried to use lutris a few years back and got spooked. I tried lutris again this year and the process seems to be more streamlined. I just tried installing an ancient game from an ISO and lutris asked me "are you trying to install game A? Then we will apply the patches for game A". It was all automatic.

Its pretty easy and straightforward. You can connect to your gog account from inside lutris, browse your games, download and install.

Which then sit cleanly next to other games you may have, roms, etc.
