What's better than GOG Galaxy? (lemmy.zip)

Right now I am running GOG Galaxy in bottles and it is mostly stable. However, I don't like how GOG Galaxy constantly is showing ads and harvesting data.

What I am looking for is another Windows launcher that can manage GOG games. Ideally it should be simple and work with a controller.

I also need an alternative to the cloud sync. I think it might be possible to either use Syncthing to sync folders or to setup a network share and then use some scripting to save my progress once I'm done playing. The biggest issue I have is that I don't know how to import my GOG cloud saves into the offline installer.

you can log into GOG directly from Lutris and download and run games directly in lutris. Its what I've always used.

Lutris doesn't have a Windows version so I can't run it in bottles.

Lutris is analogous to bottles, you wouldn't run it in bottles
