Comment on Adding gog games to steam deck

You can add them as non-steam games - via steam in desktop mode.
Others have mentioned various tools or launchers that make it easier. I didn’t like any of those tools though so I just add the games manually - i only have a 4-5 on there at a a time and i dont get through games very fast.

This. There is very little need for third-party tools, as long as you don’t want to install a whole lot of games. After all, the installation process only happens once per game, and also without tools it doesn’t take very long.
As a step-by-step guide:

Go to Desktop Mode, run Plasma Discover, get the Heroic flatpak, run Heroic, log into GoG there, install games.
Heroic is pretty damn good at doing the rest. It’ll install the Linux or Windows version of your games, it’ll add them to Steam, it’ll run them. Heroic will even give Steam some coverart for your games. (Many are missing the logo, tho. DeckyLoader +SteamGridDB plugin fixes that.)

Innoextract sounds pretty good, I’ll definitely keep that in mind for non-steam games in the future.
