I use lutris to manage my games, which is decently integrated with GOG. I ended up installing Galaxy for Baldur's Gate 3 because of the frequency of updates, but I mostly use the installers directly.

That's fair.

I prefer to buy from platforms that actively support me instead of leaving it to the community. Valve invests a lot of time and money into improving Proton/WINE, and they build in useful features like controller configuration into their platform.

If GOG supported Galaxy on Linux, I'd probably buy more from them. But they don't, and I have a Steam Deck, so I prefer Steam.
