Running Galaxy with proton-ge. Sure, it doesn't install linux versions of games or anything, but it works.
Basically what I did was:
proton gog-galaxy-installer.exe
to install. It installs to~/.local/share/proton-pfx/0/pfx/drive_c/Program Files/GOG Galaxy
(or somesuch)Seems to work fine, some older version of proton-ge and/or nvidia driver under wayland made the client bit sluggish, but that has fixed itself. Games like Cyberpunk work fine. The galaxy overlay doesn't, though.
That sounds like a similar setup to what I'm doing; just using proton-ge rather than bottles. Perhaps your way is a bit more light-weight, which is probably nice.
I only did so because I had installed proton-ge. You know, "when all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail" -type of thing. :D
