With Linux gaming clearly showing it's becoming more popular, and with GOG under new ownership, there's hope yet that GOG will improve their Linux support.
This is real iffy. Do you know when that change was made?
Fortunately the thing about GOG is I can drop those launchers anytime I want, I’m not stuck with anything unlike some others. Since Heroic relies on another open source project (I believe) called Comet it’s also not hard for an alternative to pop up.
I don’t have the exact commit anymore, but it was at the beginning of 2024. I remember going to suggest them to be more straightforward with their changelog, but someone beat me to it.
Yeah, I remember other project for epic, Legendary, that a bunch of people built on top, but it was discontinued recently.
Edit: nevermind, I found the mastodon comment, and the people reporting the problem with gog on github. From there it was easier to find the commit.
