GOG's? Which part of it?

It actually works? I've always had issues with getting anything to work in Lutris.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]As a recent refugee from W10, I agree. Not shitting on Lutris since it did kind of worked, so it might have been a matter of playing with some settings, but heroic just worked.
Lutris on a fresh bazzite install: install GOG launcher and sign in. Crappy launcher to install the game (same as windows). Install Witcher 3, start playing. Find out the installer never reported success. Next time it launches it throws an error because the game was not installed. Default is to not cache the installer files. Multi-GB download starts again.
Heroic on the same setup (after the above): sign in to GOG. Get black and white icons for all games in the platform you own. Double click or right click (can’t remember which) to install. Game installs and the icon is in color now. Double click, it starts and works.

since they can't exactly track how many hours you've played
They can and do if you use the client
But since you have the option to play without the client, they can't and don't use it to restrict refunds.

What bugs do you run into? I just click on the store button, and it basically is just a browser.

Cart persistence and going through the actual checkout is not great. Plus even as a browser there's no progress bar or sense of stuff still doing something so you're sat waiting for things to progress

Your comment was about using Heroic launcher. I don't know why you want to misinform.

I think this was a misunderstanding on my part based on exactly which text you quoted.

Friendly reminder for us Linux folks: you can send 10% of your purchase toward Heroic Games Launcher development by buying through their client.
I'm still mad Galaxy doesn't support Linux. I'd probably still use Heroic, but the mere fact of being a second class citizen doesn't feel great.
