Yeah CDPR doesn’t care about Linux support at all. They for years promised Linux support for their GOGGalaxy desktop client and then abruptly deleted the webpage that promised that feature. Their Linux support IME is some dodgy shell scripts that never work right.
CDPR has some interesting history. My understanding is that they got their start bootlegging games that couldn’t be got legally in their area, and transitioned to making games for their isolated market. GoG felt like a way to he true to their roots, distributing the old games used to bootleg legally.
Yeah GOG has an interesting legacy. For a long time it was the only place to get working games for abandoned platforms that didn’t require ages of tinkering. They’d give you a bundled copy of dosbox or some other emulator preconfigured to work with the particular game on Windows.
It’s moved so far from its roots that they’ve all but abandoned the acronym. A bit like how TLC used to stand for “The Learning Channel”

Lol how did I not know gog is under CDPR. Well, after all the promise and lack of delivery on cyberpunk, color me not surprised.
The Linux market is only growing, they should definitely be ashamed. Even the most random bullshit clients are supporting Linux nowadays.
