The Steam Deck has finally been surpassed — by a fork of Valve’s own experience - Bazzite turns the Asus ROG Ally X into today’s best handheld while putting Windows to shame. (www.theverge.com)

They don't need to, Valve's work is FOSS, and Heroic proves that it can be reused in another application.

I don't expect GOG to test every game on every Proton/WINE version, all they need to do is give the user the option to select a different version. Heroic does that, as does Steam, so surely GOG can figure it out.

So then why do you think they (GOG) haven't done anything for Linux yet?

Because they don't care. Or maybe they're just poorly run. It would be pretty cheap to make Linux gamers happy, yet they don't.
