I recently tried GOG Galaxy on Steam Deck with NonSteamLaunchers, but it wasn't a great experience, the games were crashing, store itself is missing gamepad support and it's not great to use it in general.
In the past I also tried Heroic Games Launcher, but the GOG games had so many issues (for example not finding gamepad, even when the game supported it) I just gave up on using it on Steam Deck.
It would be nice if the GOG just started using the work Steam does for Linux and improved their own tooling thanks to that, for now I rather buy games on Steam just because of the support they give to Linux. I actually wonder, given that they are promoting DRM free games, that they don't target Linux as main platform. Because if somebody is interested in DRM free, they will probably not use Windows at all.
