If most book publishers released their texts with new features (e.g. linking references, or adding additional notes to proofs/solutions) they’d get their sales. Instead they just slap DRM on and…
Low prices end GOG ? Yea nah, not really. Sorry but their UI is kinda shitty, hasn’t improved in years, they don’t have a client of Linux, they take 30% just like Steam, and from my experience easily 25% of recent games there get updates far later than Steam, if they ever receive them… The Escapists is a good example of that.

I use the Heroic launcher with GOG and it works fantastic. Official apps are less needed if the open source ones are great.
Heroic is so aptly titled. Combined with one of those helper apps to install “Proton GE”, it makes you just about unstoppable.
I’m finding that Linux has given me better compatibility with my game library as a whole!
For real legacy stuff, Bottles also works a treat. Never thought I’d get Sims 1 working again with so little hassle.
It’s a wonderful time.
