No. You can use Lutris although it appears to be unmaintained. Native GOG games work fine. Even better than the Windows versions do on windows because you don't need Admim privileges to install for whatever fucking reason

Oh, I know how to run my games, my point was more that in that case, Steam does have a literal monopol on being the only store that can run most games on Linux without using any 3rd party tools.

Not that I mind at all, and it's not a real problem, but I was just wondering if that's technically the case.
