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!

Thanks everybody! I’ll give Heroic a try.

First post outside communities I’m trying to build, Lemmy seems very helpful and fun!

Heroic is the way to go. Skip Lutris and bottles to avoid complications.

As an aside, if you’re an avid gamer and once you get comfortable with Linux, I would keep Bazzite Linux on your radar. It has a lot of gaming stuff configured out of the box. http://bazzite.gg/
