They deserve lots of love. Also: Cyberpunk was great from the beginning but got better and better...just saying.

Cyberpunk was great from the beginning
I am from Switzerland and even my Gaming Rig wasn't expensive enough to play Cyberpunk satisfatrorially.
Dunno what you're talking about. When it came out I had a 1060 6gb, an AMD FX 8320 and 8gb of ram. It ran satisfactorily, when the bugs weren't too bad, and I had to be happy with slightly lower gfx settings. Never had a play session on CP77 that was a slideshow. Maybe our bar for satisfactory performance is way different?
I also only had minor bugs. The biggest pain was this one OP boss (compared to the rest) - don't remember his name, still traumatized.
That's a Skill Issue....git gรผd chump! /s
Definitely get that. Honestly think the difficulty scaling in the game is completely fucked. The first hour and a bit is just right. Everything after is pretty much a cakewalk, with occasional instances of having to replay a section repeatedly because all your equipment and skills that smeared everything into a red mist prior suddenly is like throwing pebbles at a BattleMech.... That's pretty much my only gripe with the game. Inconsistent difficulty.
Of course, Steam Linux support is miles ahead
Frankly, both are good options. Valve has done so much for linux gaming, and CDPR has done a lot for game preservation and DRM-free gaming. I've bought plenty of games from both.
Of course, Steam Linux support is miles ahead
what do you mean by that?
Heroic/Minigalaxy/Lutris + Gog is just on equal footing.
Yes, but that is not GOG supporting Linux. Steam on the other hand goes out of their way to support Linux. And the solution you mentioned wouldn't even be working all that well if steam hadn't brought proton to the scene. I know wine has been there forever, but only since proton the game compatibility shot through the roof.
GOG is eeking out a living on old games, trying to preserve them. Steam makes billions of dollars. I think it's unfair to expect that from them, don't you? The fact that Heroic is supported on Linux and can use Steam Proton is huge. GOG still gives you the installers. Do you want them to make every single old game compatible with Linux as well?
GOG isn't some little indy outfit. They're owned by CD Projekt Red, which is a multi-billion euro outfit and the largest video game company in Europe. They're no Valve, but they're not small fry.
Honestly one thing that im not wild about with steam competitors is they all are storfronts that also make games. So I worry that if one of them becomes heavy hitters you get bias and walled gardens.
