Edit: Yo, I’m not saying this is gonna happen. I just want to say that Windew’s UX sucks ass.

    I have played a game from GOG on Linux (Icewind Dale), it had Linux download, I opened it and the game played 100%, even multiplayer with non-Linux users.

    Dunno about Witcher 3 specifically.

      It doesn’t. But congratulations on showing that Linux gaming outside of Steam is at exactly the same stage as it was years ago: Most titles don’t work.

        You are just trolling, or being in bad faith.

        I don’t know about Witcher 3, because I didn’t buy it on GOG. I bought it on Steam, works out of the box, no issues.

        So either tell me your experience, or stay on Windows.

          You download it, you click it, and nothing happens because Linux doesn’t run exes, like it was in the 2000s. What did you expect would happen?
