Great news. I hope they add linux native achievements , or cloud saves to linux native versions too.

I believe thatbis the point of GOG Galaxy, otherwise you can just use the native installers.

Hopefully they add Wine/Proton integration like Steam and Heroic have.

Well not only that. The client is there to auto update your games, and provide a friends list for social messaging in example. I also hope they integrate Wine, Proton and maybe other variants. Otherwise a Linux client would be pointless to me.

There's already Minigalaxy, which is libre and handles updates.

I've never used GoG Galaxy, does it have cloud saves? If so that's really nice and I might start using it.

Yes, some games have cloud saves, and gog also adds cloud saves to some old games like s.t.a.l.k.e.r or Thief gold.
