Do you mean it's stealing focus (appearing on top of the game after you've launched it)? If so, I've never heard of that issue before. I launch games from the Play button in GOG Galaxy, and it stays in the background.

If you install a game via GOG Galaxy, then the shortcuts will launch GOG Galaxy -- that's normal.

If you'd like GOG Galaxy to always stay minimized, then I'm not sure there's a way to do that. You can try fiddling with NirCmd, which lets you minimize or hide the window without interacting with it.

I just want it to stay out of my way (but still giving me game updates). It's always getting in my way when starting a game.
GOG Developers should consider taming it down because it's very annoying.

Again, I don't know what you mean by this. Can you post a screenshot?

If you're talking about notifications (little pop-up messages), you can go to Settings - Notifications and turn off chat messages and anything related to friends, while leaving Installing/Updating Status enabled.

You can't disable notifications for achievements and items on your wishlist going on sale. You can currently only do that by disabling the Overlay altogether under Settings - Game Features.
