I had been using Heroic Launcher to manage my GOG library on Linux. It works well enough, but an official Linux native GOG client would certainly be welcome.
These are just wrappers for Proton. Why do we need one more? Just contribute those resources to Heroic. My dream is to not need steam either. I want to run games like we did before. Just launch an executable file.
Heroic has some issues (i.e. Stellaris) that require some sort of annoying work around that doesn’t really work sometimes. GOG could not have those issues.
Heroic is limited to just GOG and Epic, while GOG Galaxy on Windows is already trying to be a sort of everything launcher. This means GOG Galaxy on Linux would be more like a replacement of Lutris (which is no longer being developed) than Heroic.

Why? It’s already annoying to have to use steam and heroic. Why would anyone want a third app?
Because people want what they want, and it doesn’t hurt you.
I would imagine that you’d still be able to use Heroic for GOG

You wouldn’t be using Heroic in that case. Steam and GOG only.
