Steam gets all my gaming budget, as I really try to stick to Linux.

If it ain't on steam, I don't play it, and they don't get my money.

Gog also supports Linux, only it ships native binaries that you can install without renting.

While I like GOG, I must say that they don't support linux, they merely sometimes make it possible to download binaries which may work on linux if you do everything yourself.

They have an actual "Games for Linux" section (https://www.gog.com/en/games/linux). I guess that should mean anything more than just "this may work on Linux if you compile this kernel and use this version of wine with these patches".

Yeah, that's a LITTLE more support. I didn't found this section when I was seaarching for some games, but then I'm not an avid gamer.
