Does anyone have experience with playing Baldurs Gate 3 from GOG? (feddit.de)

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

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.
