Installs the latest GOG Galaxy Client. Games can be imported from an existing library. Games can be launched (tested with Disco Elysium).

Overlay is a big problem for actually launching games. Must be disabled in the configuration of GOG Galaxy before launching games.
Workarounds
Requires winetricks installation of dotnet48 and corefonts.
What was not tested
Other games, downloading games (I only imported from an existing library on a Windows installation)
