For sure, but it's not really the same functionality. You can play your games, but you can't buy or redeem any others from Heroic or Lutris.

It has a store page, basically an embedded web browser, I redeem free epic games through it, don't know about GOG but I'd imagine it works the same.

It's still a third party solution. There's no reason they couldn't make a Linux client for Galaxy, and some people want to use the official launchers.
