Someone has made a tool to add achievements to non-Steam games on Linux, which feels like a niche in a niche

How much effort would you put in for some extra achievements?

    There’s software that adds achievements to emulated ROMs: https://retroachievements.org/

    Here I was thinking it would allow you to add achievements to PC games without them that have never been on Steam, alongside multi-store games.

    Doesn’t make a lot of sense in hindsight, but I’m an idiotic dreamer.

    The setup seems straightforward. Can I use this with Heroic for GOG games without achievments? And will achievements pop up real time then when I play the game through Heroic itself?
