Step 1. Installation
Officially Mingalaxy supports all recent versions of Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, Manjaro, openSUSE, Gentoo, MX Linux and Solus.
But the method of installation will vary depending on the distribution.

For example, for Ubuntu based distributions, you download and install the latest minigalaxy.deb package.
Step 2. Installing Games
By default, the interface will only display any Linux native games you have in your account, but you can display Windows developed games as well with a toggle.
Just bear in mind that since you are using Wine to play Windows developed games, not every game will work, and you may need to manually configure the prefix to get some games to launch.
Either way, navigate to the top, and click the icon with the three lines, click preferences, and toggle Show Windows Games on.
Now all games in your GOG account will be listed.
So, to install a game, click the download button, and the process will begin.
As it is not immediately apparent, if you want to cancel the download of a game, click the top right corner of the game’s icon and you will get an option to cancel the download.
Once the download is complete, install the game as normal and launch once the process is completed.
