GOG Galaxy on Ubuntu/Linux
Added by

Wizs Galaxy on flatpak would be dope!
KiraV199 Really sad to find out that GOG Galaxy is not available for Ubuntu. For now I'll stick to buying from Steam, sorry guys.
ipuiuna Waiting for Linux client until there I keep gamming only on steam
Apersonofage Sorry guys, unless we see a Linux client I'm forced to buy from Steam. I really do hope you see some sense and release a client as your originally promised way back...
elfwyn Ive thougth for years about finally switching over to linux. The OS itself is vastly superior to MS Windows. The only problem is the availability of software that was deeply integrated with Windows. Many simple Programs are able to run using Wine on Linux, but there are still some convenint programs I would not want to miss after switching. One of those is GOG Galaxy. This is one of the programs that might allow many more players to make the switch.
kris2424 Nope just get E2 when I try to install something - 2.0.16 beta
kris2424 Just installed Ubuntu 20.04 and was delighted to find GOG Galaxy in Ubuntu Software. However, when I install any of my software that I run through windows (8.1) Galaxy, it doesn't work. (UW, UW2, KQ5, KQ6.) It immediately pops up with a thing asking me to report a problem. Anybody get this to work? I was wondering if we have to add stuff via Wine Tricks like I have to to run NWN2. (NWN Enhanced apparently has that stuff built in as it ran fine w/o changes to Wine Tricks.

Amorarte I want Linux Client. Windows is no longer usable, especially the 10 version. Ubuntu uses with a far better performance the hardware machine: this means an overall better performance even in games :)
The_Guini_Piper +1 I want to play my old Sierra games without having to pirate them
dmutters Yes, please!

konqi_ linux client pls
stravaton +1 for linux/ubuntu!
Kancept It would be nice to have their client for us, however we do have this and it works well: <a href="https://github.com/sharkwouter/minigalaxy" class="light_un" target="_blank">https://github.com/sharkwouter/minigalaxy</a>
rraghav It would be great to have GOG galaxy on linux and I can finally detach from Microsoft

Zero001000 That would be great. It would give more alternative and opportunity for 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!
Yofiel 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

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.
