Steam. I love gogs drm free way but it saves a lot of time, most games just work ootb
What is “ootb” ?
Out of the Box, i.e Plug and Play.
Steam natively supports Linux. I don't think there's any reason to go through the heroic launcher to use steam. Most everything "just works".
I want to support GOG but it's just not the seamless experience on Linux that steam is. Sometimes it won't even finish updating cp2077 without me having to unbork something by manually deleting some update files.
Edit: btw, the shader downloads are a feature to improve your gameplay experience. But you can turn that off or skip it if you're ok with experiencing compilation hitching instead.
Definately Steam, not only for convenience, but also for supporting the great contribution they have done to Linux gaming.
depends on how old the game is usually older games have way better support on gog than steam
also do you have issues with heroic? i cant seem to have a good time with it i find lutris to be much easier to deal with
Heroic is okay but the devs are not the best when it comes to helping out. They don’t document well since they use discord rather than forums. So if you need help, you have to have the discord app. For a newbie like me, they assume too much for the people using the app and expect you to know what they are talking about. And the response is not the fastest. I realized that it’s better to check after each update of the heroic app to see if games that didn’t work, work afterwards. This is the best approach and it does work out for me.
Gaming on the GNU/Linux operating system.
