Is there any reason why I shouldn't buy FO4 goty from GOG instead of steam? You can still customize controls perfectly fine and all the mods/expansions still work? It won't play any differently to a steam bought game except it will be in non-steam games?

I know games usually work fine, but I haven't bought a new game from GOG since I got my steamdeck, so I'm nervous.

As much as GOG/CD Projekt have more than their fair share of problems, usually their versions of games work, can be preserved, don't require as much bloat, launchers included, and usually don't require 3rd party validation. And like others said, besides Wine and related, and installing through Steam as external games, you can also install stuff very easily through Heroic and the sort. So I'd say it's the better option indeed.
