You can easily install games from GOG with the Heroic Games Launcher and Lutris. They can help with Wine too for the games that don't have Native Linux versions, which is often the case with classics.

...And of course, TES Morrorwind is an all time classic, esp. when played via OpenMW.

My preferred method of installing would be to use the innoextract utility to extract the data files to a temporary directory, run the keeperfx launcher a first time to get those files converted and moved to keeperfx's directory, copy over the .ogg files (in the temporary folder) to keeperfx's music directory.
Alternatively, one can install in heroic, run the keeperfx launcher once (via dk's settings in heroic) to get them data files, copy the .ogg music files, and change the default .exe for dk in heroic to keeperfx's executable.
Either way: note that some settings, like language and resolution, are only accessible through the launcher executable.

So much for the whole "physical is ownership" thing, huh... Cool that it's on GOG, though.
Quoting: MicHaeL_MonStaRFunny how 'Mirror's Edge' is "DRM-free", yet I have it on disc (for PC from the original release) and could not activate its code due to servers being down. I had to resort to digitizing my copy through Origin (which actually did recognize the years-old code) some time ago.Same experiences with many games on my side with Diablo I & II, Unreal, AVP, Dungeon keeper II, etc.
