I prefer the Luxtorpeda method because that way Steam tracks my play time ✌️

Quoting: EikeI just pimped my 64 GB model with an SD card.
Haha, same!

Also a pro tip: you don't need to have all your games installed at the same time. A small selection is enough.

This is pretty cool and pretty stupid at the same time. Of course it is the effort of a single engineer that loves Linux. This is the true hero of the story.

I am glad this movement got some mainstream visibility. The discussion about digital product ownership, the right to repair etc. should be loud and ongoing.

Quoting: ZlopezBecause if somebody is interested in DRM free, they will probably not use Windows at all.
Disclaimer: I worked at GOG.com until 6-7 years ago.

You would be surprised! It is illogical to me as well but Windows is prevalent on GOG.com, just like everywhere else in the gaming world.

Still, the Linux community did a bang up job to add Linux support by themselves with projects such as GOGDL, Comet, Minigalaxy, Lutris, innoextract, and of course, Heroic Games Launcher. I might be forgetting some others.

The fact that these solutions are not actively blocked by GOG.com is... something, I guess.

Back in my times there was definitely awareness of the community-ran third party tools inside of the company. Especially all the tech people responsible for games, their delivery, and customer support did not want to break any compatibility with those tools.

But the approach towards the official Linux support from the shot callers was dismissive on the grounds of the low number of customers.
