GOG previously said they planned to look closer at Linux, and that it was the next major frontier - and they're now working towards GOG Galaxy on Linux.
I would honestly prefer buying from GOG instead of steam if they had a Linux client.
In theory I could just copy the game files from wi*dows, since they advertize not having a DRM, and play using wine or proton, but steam is just more convinient.
And I have a family on steam, so my friends can play the game as well (this was the deciding point in my last game purchase, otherwise I would use GOG)

Heroic is your GOG client. There will also be a Playnite port with a GOG plugin in the near future.
Haven’t heard of that one yet. I’ll be trying it out for sure, thanks!
I have a handful of games on Lutris, but it’s definitely not convenient enough for normal people
I agree, steam with proton is the closest.
But I’m definitely not normal.
