Hi everybody!

I’m using Linux Mint and I mostly play via Steam, but Metro Rexud 2033 was on giveaway in GOG so I would like to play that.

I have Wine installed but I ”locked” the version for a specific guitar app to work.

Which client etc would you suggest is the easiest for playing GOG games on Linux? I’m a noob and an idiot so please explain to me like i’m five years old.

Thanks for your help in advance!

I think Heroic Games Launcher is the better option, seconded by Lutris which I use if I have issue with some games through HGL which is quiete rare. There is also JunkStore as a DeckyLoader plugin but it is pretty bare bones and since you're on Mint I would say Heroic is what you should use.
