Edit: Yo, I'm not saying this is gonna happen. I just want to say that Windew's UX sucks ass.

I play games outside of Steam as well?

Wtf, those launchers play games without issues outside the Steam? What are you talking about?

And if that last 1% of games does crazy shit, it can stay on Windows. There is no need to fully support everything from Windows (down to exploits) on Linux.

Can I just go to gog.com, download The Witcher 3, click on the installer and have it install? Or do I have to configure some bullshit that's beyond the capabilities of the regular user before I can do that? You seem to be completely disconnected from real people. Real people also don't care about what kernel anticheat does and just want it to work.

I have played a game from GOG on Linux (Icewind Dale), it had Linux download, I opened it and the game played 100%, even multiplayer with non-Linux users.

Dunno about Witcher 3 specifically.
