Hi everybody!

I’m using Linux Mint and I mostly play via Steam, but Metro Rexud 2033 was on giveaway in GOG so I would like to play that.

I have Wine installed but I ”locked” the version for a specific guitar app to work.

Which client etc would you suggest is the easiest for playing GOG games on Linux? I’m a noob and an idiot so please explain to me like i’m five years old.

Thanks for your help in advance!

Since no one mentioned it yet.

You can also add the executable to Steam as a non-steam game and in its settings you can configure Proton as compatibility tool.

That works quite well for some stuff.

I did this with a portable version of Turtle WoW and it worked perfectly, even with mods.

This is what I do on the Steam Deck
