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!

Install Heroic - it takes care of everything for you. It downloads and configures wine and acts as a client for GOG to download and install the games.

It also supports UMU, so you can use proton along with it perfectly fine too
