Give me GOG Galaxy and Path of Exile on Linux and I would install it now. Last time I wanted to switch, I installed everything I needed, went to download GOG and remembered why I switch back last time. :(

You don't need GOG Galaxy. I play my GOG games through Heroic Games Launcher on my Artix Linux system.

Path of Exile is rated Gold on ProtonDB and according to reports works out of the box through Steam Proton.

Does it connect to achievements?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can't view my achievements so I don't know. I assume no because there's no overlay. I actually forgot GOG even had achievements. I just don't care about them that much usually.

Steam achievements work normally, of course.

I guess it doesn't really matter anymore since I have what I need but Dead Cells requires a connection to their servers (which requires GOG connection if on GOG version) to get the three items from daily challenges.

I haven't tried installing gog but I do play path of exile on Linux, with a controller. Flawless ( my distro off choice is nobara)

Nice, I will have to look into that.

I use Lutris to install my GOG games, Battle.NET, EA launcher, and Ubisoft Play. It's a very simple solution.

I use heroic launcher, works perfectly for me
