GOG doesn't really do much to maintain the Galaxy app unfortunately. The idea of being able to put your entire library into one launcher is appealing but half of the plugins don't even work. Even the steam one is broken out of the box these days (there is a newer version on GitHub, but I don't think it's official). So them not porting to Linux is unsurprising.
Galaxy came out hot, promised to offer something I'd wanted for a long time with a super clean UX, but from day 1 it just felt half-assed, like it was a project with two guys working on it in their spare time. A collosal disappointment.
Seriously, if one guy cooked it up during a hackathon and then later left the company, I wouldn't be shocked.
