Right now I am running GOG Galaxy in bottles and it is mostly stable. However, I don’t like how GOG Galaxy constantly is showing ads and harvesting data.
What I am looking for is another Windows launcher that can manage GOG games. Ideally it should be simple and work with a controller.
I also need an alternative to the cloud sync. I think it might be possible to either use Syncthing to sync folders or to setup a network share and then use some scripting to save my progress once I’m done playing. The biggest issue I have is that I don’t know how to import my GOG cloud saves into the offline installer.
Both Lutris and Heroic Launcher allows for integration with GOG accounts. Worth checking out.
Junk Store on Decky Loader will do GoG as well as Epic, but you do have to pay for GoG integration or subscribe to their Patreon
Regarding cloud saves, Heroic will let you download or force download them. After that you would just need to place them where they are expected for the game.
I use Heroic on desktop and deck and am a big fan personally.
I believe Heroic Launcher does all of that, minus the saves. That’s going to be on you to manage regardless.
Heroic has support for cloud syncs. I have very few games that are not supported. Like Baldur’s Gate 3, but it’s not on Gog side.
Lutris is pretty good
