I was halfway through silksong before I realized cloud saves and achievements only work with the Windows version. Fortunately, copying the Linux save folder on top of the Windows one kept my progress, but I’m still missing most of my achievements. Guess I’ll just have to play again from the beginning.
Yes, but the achievements wouldn’t sync with the native Linux installation, I had to switch to the Windows install of Silksong before they started to sync to my GOG profile.
Heroic will let you install the native Linux game (if available), or the Windows version that runs on Wine/Proton. But like moody said, GOG will only allow cloud saves for the Windows versions of your games.
Yeah, I can confirm Heroic works well on Linux. Just finished up my GOG-purchased Silksong play-through this week. :)

Heroic supports GOG achivements through Comet, which is enabled by default in the latest versions.
However there is no overlay so you need to check the GOG achievements webpage to see what you achieved/unlocked.

I thought heroic supported cloud saves?
GOG only supports cloud saves for Windows games. It’s not a Heroic issue.
That’s a weird limitation.
