I would honestly prefer buying from GOG instead of steam if they had a Linux client.

In theory I could just copy the game files from wi*dows, since they advertize not having a DRM, and play using wine or proton, but steam is just more convinient.

And I have a family on steam, so my friends can play the game as well (this was the deciding point in my last game purchase, otherwise I would use GOG)

Heroic is your GOG client. There will also be a Playnite port with a GOG plugin in the near future.

Haven't heard of that one yet. I'll be trying it out for sure, thanks!
