PayPalMinigalaxy is a simple and to the point GOG client for Linux, making it easier to download and install all your GOG games. A new bug-fix release is out now with Minigalaxy version 1.4.1.
While we have other tools like Lutris and Heroic, they are big projects that cover a lot. If your main source of games is just GOG, the Minigalaxy app could be preferable for you. At least until GOG eventually bring GOG Galaxy to Linux, which they might be doing from a recent job listing. Minigalaxy offers downloads, updates, DLC, and Windows games with Wine making it all quite simple.
From the changelog:
- Installations now report more intermediate steps like checksum verifications to the UI. (thanks to GB609)
- Fix bugs related to error handling of ongoing installations. (thanks to GB609)
- Fix an issue where CJK characters in game library path prevents the config file from being loaded properly. (thanks to kyle-zhang-42)
- Automatically add Weblate contributions to README and About dialog on release. (thanks to GB609)

What I really like to see is a bit of back-end/library consolidation.
I saw Heroic made efforts to sync the savages to GOG (experimentally), which seems to be a missing feature of Minigalaxy https://github.com/sharkwouter/minigalaxy/issues/23
Idk, is it so much fun to reverseengineer a platform or such a hassle to use stuff from others?
Sry for my rant. I just don't want to watch another client for xyz suffocate in bugs, which tints "Linux as a bad place to game" .
