Right now I am running GOG Galaxy in bottles and it is mostly stable. However, I don’t like how GOG Galaxy constantly is showing ads and harvesting data.

What I am looking for is another Windows launcher that can manage GOG games. Ideally it should be simple and work with a controller.

I also need an alternative to the cloud sync. I think it might be possible to either use Syncthing to sync folders or to setup a network share and then use some scripting to save my progress once I’m done playing. The biggest issue I have is that I don’t know how to import my GOG cloud saves into the offline installer.

    I used Playnite on windows back when I had Windows, it syncs with GOG and everything else.

    But I find it much better to use Heroic and have one wine prefix per game. Easier to sort out compatibility and config issues.

    Plus it has a beta cloud sync thing. I dont know if it uses the store’s sync system (GOG, Epic, etc) or if it’s a Heroic service on it’s own.

    You could also have syncthing backup your Wine prefixes, that way you not only sync your save games, but also your whole configuration.

      I don’t want to spend time trying to get games working. Either they work right away or I return them. I play older games that are well tested anyway.

      Basically I am using Bottles so I don’t have to care.
