steam is a one-shop-and-that's-shop-launcher. you need to do some really hard work to integrate a game from GOG galaxy on Linux with the steam for example

Steam can actually be effectively used as a launcher since non-steam games can be added. It also has support for Proton, allowing many windows games to be played on linux.

Steam actually has an exceptional controller support as well and it can be configured for any software or game, even non-steam ones.

Lutris manages installations of games on Linux, itch.io.... doesn't. It's a distribution platform.

This is the best launcher that is similar to Lutris, but for Windows. Also, it is a FOSS project and has a real good level of polish.

It great as a repository to launch different games and systems from one place. Very nIce. Launchbox is the best that I am aware of for doing the same thing, and there are a few other. But Playnite is pretty damn good.

As of June 2019, GOG Galaxy does not support Linux and CDPR have no ETA for it. The whole point of using Lutris as a frontend is to circumvent that.

Not updating achievements, not updating new games on other platforms, new installed games never get into the recent titles gees - this is a mess lately. At least that annoying recommendation page you are pushed into now no longer auto-refreshes... so if you notice something there it at least stays on the screen. I'm literally pushed to try something else - Lutris on Linux and I remember something was heralded as Lutris for Linux.
