Right now I am running GOG Galaxy in bottles and it is mostly stable. However, I don’t like how GOG Galaxy constantly is showing ads and harvesting data.

What I am looking for is another Windows launcher that can manage GOG games. Ideally it should be simple and work with a controller.

I also need an alternative to the cloud sync. I think it might be possible to either use Syncthing to sync folders or to setup a network share and then use some scripting to save my progress once I’m done playing. The biggest issue I have is that I don’t know how to import my GOG cloud saves into the offline installer.

    Ya, weird, I use it on windows and don’t see ads.

    I use heroic launcher or lutris in it’s place on Linux though.

      I believe it’s configurable whether you get notifications about new releases on Galaxy, just like how it is with steam. Although one thing I’ve noticed is that claiming free games on GOG will toggle the notifications on again so you need to turn it off after claiming anything.
