GOG needs a Linux app. Hero launcher is ok but I don't like needing another app to get to another app, it's like needing a car to get to my other car.
If I could launch Gog just as easly as Steam games in big picture/game mode on Bazzite that would be so good
What do you mean needing an app to get to another app?
Heroic literally just downloads the game installer and installs the game. Heroic is the single app.
So what you're saying is I don't need Heroic to get to GoG?
You use heroic to login to your gog account directly. It manages your library from the launcher.
It is a single application. I don’t understand why you think you need two applications to install and launch gog games.
Do you need Steam to get to Steam?
Why? I like not needing an app and just downloading an installer that is mine to keep.
