Release GOG Galaxy 2.0 for Linux
Added by
matj1 The wish to release GOG Galaxy on Linux is one of the most voted wishes. Now the developers probably focus more on Galaxy 2.0 so it's more likely that Galaxy 2.0 will be released on Linux than the original Galaxy.
dpanter It's been 84 years... but seriously what the fark GOG, get your shit together already. Sad beans.
ridhubharan fuck GOG, all my homies use Steam (steam atleast cares a little about the linux community)
neuro_sys I wonder if GOG developers aren't competent enough to release for Linux? Anyway, I'll have to go to Steam because of this. <br /> <br /> But considering linux users are tech savy, and particularly fond of old games, and given most such games run on Dosbox anyway, it makes no sense why Linux is not targeted.
BavarinFleetfoot Wish it would happen, but it ain't gonna. Done waiting for it. Steam's my first choice for buyin' games from now on.
Rastrock +1 for linux
RicoADF I have been avoiding purchasing from GoG due to lack of linux support, this will continue until they start to support us.
TheBear2277 I really don't understand why Galaxy 2.0 isn't already on Linux. I just don't see why GOG wouldn't want to join the cool kids club. Beside, They would beat Epic to going native Linux and what game platform wouldn't want to beat Epic to anything.
Azomerath Bitte CDP lasst linuxer weiter daran teilhaben :) am besten von v2.0 bis 3.0 wenn es den mal erscheint^^
Gilbertus +1
plaplar +1 again for GOG Galaxy on Linux. <br /> Please, come on, it's been wayyyy tooo long we are waiting !
Mirotvorina +1 for linux
Sikarius +1, but I know it's not gonna happen. <br /> <br /> That's why I'm buying again on Steam.
itskael Just looked at https://www.gogalaxy.com/en/. GOG Galaxy 2.0 is available for Windows and Mac. Mac? The epitome of walled gardens and proprietary lock-in? _Really_? In principal, I really prefer you to Steam. In practice, you're walk isn't matching up with your talk. <br /> GOG Galaxy 2.0 for Linux shouldn't be considered a wish, it should be considered a glaring defect, because that's how I see it... And I don't seem to be alone in that. :-(
Bafford_The_Dour I think it would be in GOG's best interest to do as Valve did and put greater focus on Linux. They even open-sourced everything for everyone to use for free...
ForwardShadow This is absolutely needed.

silverchain5 How ironic is it that a platform dedicated to the eradication of DRM content and exclusivity would have ignored the ONE OS dedicated to this. Pity, as the app itself looks absolutely amazing. Please bring it on ASAP.
Mgarzelli Come on guys, this is an old post! <br /> +1 for it
laubblaeser Absolutely needed, please GOG, just release a Galaxy 2.0 client for Linux. We're all eagerly waiting for it!
Sector7e Yes, I don't see why there isn't a client for linux already. :/
greyeax Cyberpunk 2077 is likely going to be the last game I buy on GOG that isn't exclusive until you guys sort out Linux support. It's just not worth the effort. I have to go out of my way to play GOG games on Linux whereas I can just one click install them on Steam.
Stelesky +1
tdo2 +1 for Linux. You can support either spyware or open source. What do you prefer on your PC, Mobile Phone...?
Jim4Prez I think GOG has promised a Linux client for ages. Geez, get cross platform already. I have 82 GOG games but haven't bought anything from GOG for more than a year and have used Steam exclusively. I would love to support GOG again, but my money goes to those who support me. <br /> Switch to QT or I'm guessing it is in DotNet, sigh. There is GTK# and even QT#. DotNet should only be used for internal business apps, not commercial software.
obaker3 This was be really cool, i pretty much only play on Linux and would love a dedicated galaxy 2.0 client.
anojoyman Since I finally made the switch last march I am super happy, new games run great on Linux even if not native. Some games even run faster on Linux(crazy right?). Steam is great, GOG needs to follow suit imo. Linux gaming community is only getting bigger every day.
Turtle_94 this would be so awesome!

re4ctiv8 This would be great, buying and running games on linux through steam is just so convenient that I almost never buy games on GOG anymore
ridhubharan +1 please
jcmarin1 Literally, if GOG was on Linux, I would have no reason to run windows. Please release a Linux client!
othgell Linux version
Garamatr Please, very need!
strayano Support Linux gaming! Why not? It is rising in popularity, a great market oportunity to attract new users. And besides, we need to empower the most viable alternative to the Big Tech monopoly
kacior +1, at this moment, steam is the one who takes my money.
polyakoviv come on, due time you release client for LINUX, the better operating system.
audili GOG Galaxy fpr Linux would be brilliant!
Cronyk I was quite disappointed not to have a linux version because I was totally sure there would be one - it's just the spirit of the whole thing. I will look forward if this problem will be resolved soon because till now, Steam is the only viable solution under linux.
David1Platt Hey folks I discovered a fun little trick. Download Gog Galaxy 2 with one of your games and set it up in Lutris. Make sure Lutris is using local winetricks is turned on and you can setup Gog Galaxy 2 to run via lutris/wine. The only lame part is that all games run through wine whether they need to or not. The nice thing is games can be managed using GG-2 which is pretty sweet.
JeanMich Quite a shame not to focus on Linux from the beginning when you're defending DRM-free games. <br /> Windows and Apple are the opposite of the freedom spirit while Linux is. <br /> <br /> Since Galaxy arrived, my games on Steam went from 1 (Civ V) to more than a hundred (with most available on GOG), while I didn't buy much on GOG... <br /> Good way to make us look elsewhere... where Linux users are understood.
fractal-zombie Agree, Playing on linux too...
VasskaRudnik Trying to refund cp2077 to repurchase on Steam. Those guys are actively helping with Wine development. Gaming on Linux imo is now totally viable and only getting better. Conversely, what is the point of drm-free games on Spysoft?
Caemor yes pls
nenoro Release it release it come on C2K77 works so well on config with Gentoo
yarbelk Me too: i'm seriously considering refunding cyberpunk on GOG and getting the steam version just for this <br /> <br /> WHICH MAKES ME SAD <br /> <br /> ;_;
RaderCad Yep! Just moved over to POP because of the nvidia drivers being native to it. Would love to see GOG up on Linux Ubuntu.
greyeax I will also add here that I would purchase a lot more games on GOG if Galaxy was available natively for Linux. <br /> <br /> I don't think it's an extreme ask, especially in the era of Electron and multi-platform libraries. The perfect version would also have a launcher capability similar to the way you can choose Proton versions on Steam, but for now I'd settle for just being able to use the platform natively. <br /> <br /> The community has been asking for this for literally years, and I don't really understand the lack of communication or support here.
LOLinc. I want this and I will use this. <br /> But I am torn since if I buy my games on steam, I will not only have a native Linux client I will also be able to play the windows games (such as witcher) on Linux via steam play. It actually works well and I have been playing a lot of Witcher Gwent on ubuntu using steam (play). <br /> The underlying platform (Proton) is publically available, so maybe GoG could also use that. Though without there even being a GoG Linux client this seems like a lot to ask for. Still, steam will have the edge here because of og steam play.
eowyngwen I vote for GOG Galaxy for Linux... I don't use Windows at all and 90% of my games are available on Linux. <br />
