While it still has plenty of work ahead of it, Comet is a very promising project to bring the full power of GOG Galaxy over to Linux without needing to run their client in Wine. Note: this is a community project, not from GOG themselves.
The first tagged release version 0.1.0 is out now bringing with it "all necessary SDK calls", allowing you to blast through GOG games and properly earn 100% of the achievements on Linux too. All without having to actually use GOG Galaxy. The whole point of Comet is to provide a platform-agnostic SDK, so it can be used in launchers like Heroic, Lutris and others.
Some of what they wish to do in future versions includes:
- Bring native comet support in Lutris and Heroic (have an option to toggle comet for games or globally without any manual effort).
- Support official overlay on Mac and Windows. #17
- Support overlay on Linux for Windows games.
- Create decky loader plugin to display invites and achievements as you unlock them. #18

Honestly the Galaxy Client itself, ignoring Linux for a moment, feels mostly abandoned as it is. I believe the single person they had maintaining the integrations quit quite some time ago, and was never replaced.The broken ones are community integrations which you can hardly blame the company for :)

They had a paid staff member that managed "Awesome-GOG-Galaxy". Once that stopped, so did any updates via the "Search for integrations" in Galaxy. People can still do it on their own, but the jank from doing it that way pretty much killed that portion of the client.

I would like a simplified tutorial because I can't understand from GitHub how to install and use Comet on Linux Fedora Workstation with x64.

Has anyone managed to get the new release to work? I did a fresh install of Heroic and started Gwent (which I had never opened before) to see if I could get the achievements to flow through but I am not sure its worked.
I can see playtime but not the achievements
thanks

If you launched Gwent from GOG that's already a sign this works, achievements may be updated retroactively only if you unlock a new one.
