You might want to look at these videos, specially the second one. But your question was already answered by Start Running, if you install windows or wine you should be able to play any other platform that can run on windows or wine.

You can also download the gamefiles and since all games on GOG are DRM-free, just add them as a non-Steam game to Steam and launch them via Proton. You might need to add a command-line argument for each game added that way, though.

BUT: Game's on GOG aren't all Windows-only. While there's no official launcher for GOG on Linux, if there's an official Linux version of a game available, you can download a bash-script for that game, while logged into GOG.com 's website and then run it on Linux to start the download&install process for it.

2nd thread is all around discussion, has a strong amount of attention so best to get an answer there. I don't know for GoG games, to my understanding the OS can run windows games, though I have no experience with that OS so I can't answer it myself

Good Luck, kind of curious now to see what the answer is.
