GoG is generally the better alternative to steam than epic.
Steam isn’t perfect but it works and has a decent consumer oriented service. GoG is doing great with conservation and drm free options but their launcher isn’t amazing. Pair either with Heroic games launcher or similar for a great experience on almost any OS
What's Heroic Games Lawnchair?
A Linux launcher that can be used to launch games from the epic store and others. So, basically a workaround so you don't need to use the epic launcher.
It also runs on windows as well, and has Amazon games integration.
