They will do literally anything except support the Steam Deck

They don't need to support the Steam Deck, they just need to support linux. Funnily enough GOG was one of the first platforms to try to bring the games to linux.

That's true, they do have a Linux search filter on GOG.com.

Which is why it's even weirder to me that they still don't make GoG Galaxy available on Linux. It stinks, even for Windows games on Wine/Proton, because you can't access cloud saves or online services without GoG Galaxy running.

I've managed to make it work with a hacky script to launch Galaxy under Wine, but it's fragile, crashes sometimes, and I really just want something better.

I played cyberpunk with Lutris and Heroic Launcher, once installed there were practically no issues whatsoever. Of course you miss the achievement log and save sync.
