GOG Galaxy on Ubuntu/Linux

EhPlus @Myrddin_Wyllt I imagine if the top three voted Galaxy wishes are all about ultimately getting Galaxy on Linux, GoG will eventually dedicate the resources to getting it pumped out for the community.

Myrddin_Wyllt Why Ubuntu specifically? There is a general wishlist for Linux; go vote on that one instead. This wishlist item should be merged along with the Galaxy version 2 into just one wishlist for Linux support imho.
cbrhea Also booting into Linux more than Windows these days. A GOG Galaxy client would be awesome! <br /> <br /> (Steam works!)
cat_dad lgogdownloader Lutris can not instead GOG Galaxy!
Pakatonobr CDPR, you can package the launcher using Flatpak, because it is the most popular universal format among distributions. You don't have to worry about Distro X or Distro Y. Just do it!
saphyrre Thousands of people are asking for this feature. Are you just going to ignore them because you can't afford to pay a couple new developers? Your product offering is not that great to begin with, (compared with Steam, for example), you could at least go the extra mile for your customers if you really cared.

odlevakp you suck... so many requests for a Linux based client (also in different threads) and nothing - are the current clients such an uportable mess? Did you really crate GOG galaxy without portability in mind?
Razzek I just transitioned from Windows to Ubuntu (well, dual boot more exactly), and it would be nice to a have a GOG client for Ubuntu.
kormoranas Yes please, now i tried to install several games i bought on linux (Diablo, Heroes 3, Quake 3, non of them worked on Linux, and you can still install it via playonlinux but its a mess), please add this!
GrenkovV My main OS is Ubuntu, I just had hard time searching a way to install GOG games here. Before realizing that I must download game directly. Would be great to have convenient GOG client for Linux
NetWorthy +1 A final important step to emancipate myself from M$!
d_riebe It's simply astonishing that you, on the one side, do so much for open gaming but on the other side refuse to support a Linux client for your great library. Simply sad. Now Steam is providing wine-wrappers out-of-the-box for their library. You guys are far behind...
lrodri 1+ linux
DragonFire2 +++1
Brzydki3 +1 Linux needs GOG Galaxy! Believe me
heldzz Yes please! I totally want to switch to Linux for gaming as well and I don't want to miss the Galaxy features like cloud save games and so on

Malkavien +100 <br /> Win7 support ends today. <br /> So I need a Linux Client for GOG ;) <br /> At least DOSBox is working on Linux.

Soltblod How is this not a thing?! <br /> I've been trying to find the download for 5 minutes just now, I would have never expected that they don't release their launcher for 1/3 of the platforms they service.

brokenhands I think GOG should release Galaxy on Android. Do something outside the box (pun intended), that even Steam/Valve isn't doing. <br /> <br /> That would open the GOG market to smartphone and portable gaming clients.
JohnnyGamer I really would love to see a Linux Client. I use Mint and Elementary Os. On both Steam works already fine. It's not only by GoG himself, the developers have to make it natively for Linux too. Many game engines already supported linux without flaws. An with the vulkan api there is no reason to use the exclusive Direct X anymore.

niemand22 I would also like to push a Linux client. I guess Ubuntu as a target would be fine, the rest of us will make it work on their system anyway <br /> :)
baaammmm Yes Galaxy for Linux would be great!!
omegapixel In 2018 I read "Stay tuned for future announcements" on a Linux version of GOG Galaxy. We're on the precipice of 2020 and still no word.
M4drian I use Arc.. I mean manjaro btw, +1
BavarinFleetfoot Stick with Steam. Valve at least actually supports their words with action. They said they were gonna support Linux, and lo and behold, we have Steam on Linux, Proton/SteamPlay, a whole host of games in native Linux flavors, etc, etc. What do we have here on GOG? A few ancient DOS games packaged with DOSBox, and a whole mess of lies and broken promises and still no Galaxy. Waste of time waiting for these folk. It ain't gonna happen.
SageXXX Linux here as well. Make more games on Linux!!!
N3rv0us +1 <br /> Or make the windows client open-source so the community can port it to linux.
muhgo Just realized this is not a thing in 2019. Seriously why? You can't be really DRM free if you use Windows.
szemcse +1 Linux (so i don't buy without linux support)
Hiruy23 Add me to the party. we need linux client
JManderley With the latest iterations of the Windows 10 platform I have given up completely and gone totally over to Linux Ubuntu. It is both stable and fast. Please consider dedicating a team to developing a good working stable version of GOG Galaxy for the Linux platform. It is already and excellent alternative to Steam, let's also make it _THE_ number one go-to client for games on Linux ;)
roeleveld When GOG Galaxy is available for Linux, I will go back to buying games here.
Drachen76 Please a Linux Gaming Platform
grayson_marik Linux here too!
RodneyHaus Linux 4 me 2.
SaliVader I've waiting for a Linux version for years! Please! Don't make me choose between DRM-Free and Linux support!
Konaan I have to echo what many others have said, please create a Linux version of the Galaxy software. PLEASE. If you don't have the time or resources, give some communities the permission to create one. I guarantee there will be a Linux Galaxy client in no time.
Joeyboots We've been waiting for years. Just tell us you're not going to do it, instead of stringing us along. Sheesh.
Epiphany Pleaaaaase. I need to play my games again.
smau6785 A million times this! Finally completely ditched Steam and Windows, really craving my System Shocks and Ultima Online!!! Wine or POL emulation doesn't work properly
Thunfischbeinche GOG Galaxy would be great for Linux. Please give us a good gaming platform for Linux!
