I have read it runs fine on steam but would rather buy it on GOG due to the lack of DRM.

You should be able to add it to your steam library as a non-steam game and then in game options in Steam set up using Proton as long as you have Proton enabled for all games, not just verified games.

I recommend Heroic Games Launcher for GOG games, it's much nicer to use, IMO.

You can log into GOG through Lutris too, and install and launch games through that.

I thought Heroic was an alternative launcher for Epic Games, I guess I didn't consider that it would work for GOG games as well.

Heroic supports Epic, GoG, and now Amazon games. Supports installs, updates, file validation, and uninstalls perfectly. I think for Epic it supports cloud saves as well, but I don't use that feature and have heard horror stories from early adopters of it.
