It is UI for GOG? We have a Heroic Game Launcher. It can work with GOG.

I get into this on the post, but AFAIK community-built solutions such as Heroic and Lutris aren't exactly the same, with a lot of Galaxy's selling points being the cloud features such as save data sync and a friends list system for online play.

Different people may or may not find uses for these features, but it's still worth discussing IMO.

Imho, if they decide to put effort into Linux, I'd rather see them put dev resources into heroic to add these features than to make just another client. They are late to the market, that would make the most of it.
