Their own launcher doesn’t seem to have a Linux version, only Windows and Mac: https://www.gog.com/galaxy

That’s why people seem to recommend Lutris or some other alternatives to access the actual library.

Different strokes, I guess. One of the main draws of buying games from GOG instead of Steam, for me, is the fact that I don't need an extra bit of superfluous software just to purchase and launch my games. I have a perfectly good application launcher already, which relies on standard .desktop files.

I recently started using the Heroic launcher for my GOG library and so far it's been working great.
