Surprised it’s taken them this long. If they care about game preservation then they need their shit working on Linux.

I never used GOG galaxy, wonder what would be better than Heroic.
Official support & blessing is always better and involves less toil for maintainers in reverse engineering APIs and keeping them uptodate. For example it is much better if game developers take Linux support seriously than Valve running around fixing all the dumpster fires.
I am new to Linux, why is Heroic better than Lutris?
Heroic is an alternative frontend for digital game stores (which are not natively supported on Linux). You can sign in with your Epic or GOG account and play, update, etc. your games just like you would with Steam.
It's worked more reliably for me, though it also isn't without it's issues.
Nice
