The Linux version of X4 took over a week longer to update on GoG than Steam for the 7.00 update.
If it updates from local files, I usually use an open-source program, lgogdownloader, to download installers for GoG.
If it doesn’t…yeah, not much that can be done about that, if Egosoft uses their own updater on one platform and Steam on another.
I will say that actually, one of my single largest irritations about Steam is that it uses multiple TCP connections to download, and one cannot limit the number of TCP connections it uses when downloading. The result is that when it saturates your local connection, it tends to squeeze out other programs using the connection, since available bandwidth tends to wind up roughly allocated relative to the number of connections being used under congestion. I really wish that it wouldn’t do that.
I wouldn’t care if I could just say “use no more than 2 connections”, but…
Not a problem exclusive to linux. There are many games that don’t receive an update on gog after some time, or lack the linux build, or several other things.

This seems like a developer/publisher issue. GoG can’t update with files it hasn’t been given.
