Heroic Games Launcher, supports gog cloud saves, full wine/proton integration and even store front.

And that's amazing work they've done, but really it's surprising that it's not already supported natively.

I think there is some ... cooperation? Or at least acknowledgement towards heroic from GOGs side.

What do you mean by natively?

Supported by GOG

Also, it has controller support (slightly dodgy though)

It's also a nice way to use a single launcher to replace 2 / 3 (Epic Games, GOG Galaxy and Amazon gaming).

On Linux I only use Steam and Heroic.
