I just heard about that. Usually I just use Heroic or Lutris, but maybe this is also for some of you guys helpful!

I haven't used Minigalaxy much at all so far (mostly because my experience with Linux is merely experimental until next year) but it seems viable. So far, Lutris seems to be the best option overall, especially since it offers similar functionality to GOG in that it's an all-in-one launcher. I haven't tried Heroic but it's definitely on my radar.

Haven't really used Minigalaxy because it's a bit too specific. It'd need something like an installer shredder/extractor or something like that.

I prefer Lutris because it isn't a glorified web browser, I can import games, and it runs Dosbox games nicely.

I don't prefer Heroic because it's a bloody Electron app.

I’m not buying DRM-free games to then add a third-party layer myself. If I wanted my games to require some extra hassle to run, I would buy from Steam in the first place.

problem with them is that many gog multiplayer games use goggalaxy specifically to play multiplayer.

Yes, that's problematic but I can't really see another way for games if they're not built specifically to be DRM-free releases. Everyone uses Steamworks for multiplayer these days, so GOG needed a competitive option. Unfortunately, that results in this issue.
