Proton is open source. Anyone can pull it together and integrate it. Gog have been doing DRM free games for a while, they'll be quite keen to fill this niche. Epic probably won't care. If none do, someone will want to.

What are you smoking? GOG Galaxy doesn’t even have a Linux client. In fact it has been one of the most requested features for years and nothing has happened.

Edit: it’s also the reason I stopped buying from them when I got my Steam Deck.

They do provide Linux support in other ways though. They even troubleshoot me once with a game I tried to play on Linux and offered a refund.

Gog Galaxy not on Linux is a shame, yes, but its DRM-Free and Linux installers are enough for me to continue to buy from them.

Edit: Heroic Launcher makes a great replacement of Gog Galaxy, maybe even better than the Windows client, from what I'd tried. No multiplayer though.
