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

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.

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?
