Thanks for the info and yeah, this adds another brick to the GOG pile of shame unfortunately.

GOG has been very lethargic to the point of straight-up dishonesty regarding their plan for Linux support for games, galaxy and their downloader. Their rollout of Galaxy has been panned and definition of what qualifies as DRM-free has been eroded over time.

I understand the disparity of resources, but steam has done much more lately to embrace Linux and their community than GOG and gaping security holes is just unacceptable.

A lot has changed since 2016.

Years ago, I asked on the forums[0] if they'd have it on GOG since I wanted a DRM Free copy that I could pull updates from. They said, essentially, "not in the near future" so I bought it on a humblebundle ... I got a Steam key though.

A few weeks later it came out on GOG and I contacted about getting a key and they said, just buy it again.

I also haven't seen it on GOG-connect to make it available to Steam key holders.

So my experience definitely conflicts with their "early purchaser" customer-appreciation rationale for this.

I have an Inkplate 6Plus[0] and I installed this[1] on it. It works for me. Open hardware, open software, it lets me read ebooks.
