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.
jlalcazar I can use most of the games in Steam, but in GoG we need a client with wine/lucris included
Kallestofeles Pretty please, yes!
darsparx I just want to be able to download the 2.0 client on linux. IDC if it's a flatpak or I have to install it myself in wine, I just want it so bad.
rodun Gib linux support plox.
mano78 I switched fully to linux, and it's just about the only thing that I miss. <br />
Sxiber Lack of decent GOG client for linux is a bad thing, i like DRM free ideology of GOG, i want to support it, but i need a client <br /> the must have features of GOG linux for me are: <br /> <br /> 1) easy download and install of linux and windows games <br /> 2) auto update of games <br /> 3) wine integration with community supported comparability base <br /> <br />
kmi187 Can we please have a Linux client? You will have to do it eventually, Linux gaming is on the rise. Better jump on early.
miketo I understand the market share issues with developing a GOG Linux client. I also understand the technical issues of building a Lutris-like application for Windows game support on Linux. But as a guy who's tired of endlessly hacking things just to get a single Windows game running on Linux, I WOULD PAY for a bridge that would link my ENTIRE game library onto Steam so I could use Proton. I don't want to buy games twice (I love supporting indie devs), so if there's a way to leverage Steam's 800-pound gorilla dev team for DOS/Windows support and GOG's deep, deep library, I'd PAY for that. I'll say that once more: I'D PAY FOR THAT! Thank you GOG for listening, and I hope there are options available here.
agm28011997 it feels like there won't be any support for linux at all on the shop side.. there are some games that have linux support and they are not here..
Lucius_V +1 for Linux support!!!!
roeleveld Gog really needs to finally release a Linux client. <br /> They also need to get their games more supported on Linux, there are several games that officially work on Linux when using Steam. But the Gog-version does not. <br /> I used to prefer Gog and preferred them over Steam. But the lack of a decent client that keeps the games updated and easily managed makes Steam a much better choice at the moment. <br /> <br /> But please do not use flatpak or similar.
VoidTheCypher Having a Linux Version of the software and be able to play the games where we so choose would be awesome. Canonical's Snaps and Flatpaks are some easy ways to get the software on Linux easily. Even having packages available similar to what steam does. Windows can be annoying to use and being able to play the games on whatever system offers freedom and flexibility.
Lyrica To make porting either version of GOG Galaxy to GNU/Linux easier, CD Projekt's developers should look into simple cross-distro software deployment methods, like Canonical's Snap or Red Hat's (now IBM's) Flatpak. They should also look into Valve's Proton, the Windows-to-Unix compatibility layer optimised for games–like CD Projekt's own Witcher 3, which runs perfectly under it–& is free for other companies to use.
DupaSlonia8 flatpak or snap would be ideal
Ghebast I'm pretty much Steam-exclusive nowadays, but I'd jump back in a heartbeat if I had a native launcher. I loved the DRM-free mission GOG supports, but it doesn't make sense for me to go through such great trouble to keep my games up-to-date.
pazhosch Would be very nice to have a native Linux client. If it will be a beta, or alpha, that's perfectly OK, as those using Linux as the main (or only, like me for more than 10+ years) OS typically can handle all the instabilities and errors.
TimeFreeze1337 <br /> <br /> +1 for Linux. Also to others who want (at least an Download Client) Give minigalaxy a look.
Granuaile @Freniere Peoples' OS preferences are their own and you would be small-minded to judge so many people by your own limited standards. What's more, you can always download Linux GOG installers the old-fashioned way. <br /> <br /> All that said, I do really want the secondary convenience of Galaxy on Linux. Please make it happen GOG!
Freniere Unfortunately this isn't likely to ever happen. People, either because they are ignorant, stupid or simply immoral, are still using Windows, which means Linux only has 2% of the market. I once bought my games on GOG rather than Steam, but now GOG has taken the choice out of our hands. If you're a Linux user, you have to get your games on Steam.
pammenjk An Arch, Debian or RPM package would go a long way :)
nekrodamus GOG Galaxy for Linux!! Don't forget us, please!!
Thomot512 It would be awesome to get this launcher on linux!!!
bburnett1283 PLEASE, I would love to have a native linux client. <br />
Swienty31 Yes, please. please, please. please, please. please, please. please, please. please, please. please, please. please, please. please, please. please, please. please, please. please, please. please:D
Kuroko I'd love to see official client on Linux. It doesn't need to have all the same features as Windows version does but downloading and automatic updates would be much appreciated. There are unofficial clients and I'm already using one but official support would be nice. The Galaxy has already been built using Qt which is cross-platform toolkit so a lot of the work should be already compatible with the existing code base.
RagezVII +1 linux support!!
SilentStorm128 GOG! Support me so I can support you!
Heldengeisst Yeah, it's really makes me reluctant to prioritize GoG over Steam. I'd really want to, but the absence of native Linux client is mostly the reason that when it comes to purchase, I choose Steam over GoG.
Edelstoffl Just thinking about purchasing Stoneshard. But without a GOG-Galaxy-Linux-Client I'll have no access to cloud savings, updates etc. <br /> But no such problems on steam... <br />
俞正声 建议添加linux客户端
EtherealRage It's really kind of disappointing that GOG markets Linux support at all while not making the client available on Linux. If developers don't make the leap nothing will ever change. You could crowdfund the development if money was the issue. I poke around on Linux from time to time to see if anything has changed and am always disappointed. Valve made MAJOR strides for the Linux community and I can't be more proud of them for taking the leap. Still waiting for Linux to be taken seriously...
tilk_and_eileen +1. Steam has it for years, recently it has Proton. Even though I want DRM-free and I want to support Polish companies, for now I'm buying from Steam - as they are respecting me as a Linux gamer.
Paul_Rainier +1 Linux support, without it we can't even access to updates for some games
CarlosC25 +1 for flatpack
PeeOnYou I would've thought any overhauled new client would surely include Linux, but I guess I'm way out in left field here.
deruberhanyok would love to have the galaxy client available in linux!
x4000c Let's all be nice, but supporting linux with the galaxy client would be a huge win.
t_frutti +1 linux support
Borshevskiy Please
Fotwenty +1 for client linux support. boycotting any purchases from you until this happens.
bionicsloth +1 for flatpack
ran_red Please do this, your philosophy of freedom and fairness goes hand in hand with Linux's goals. This needs to happen.
KijBeta I still maintain hope that GOG Galaxy will become the hero we need.
windwaker At the very least it would be great to have GOG Galaxy for linux-only games. You could improve later on. And it goes pretty well with the DRM-free policy.
NetWorthy Yes please! When Microsoft killed support for Win 7 I moved to Zorin 15.2 / Ubuntu 18.04. I'm here to stay. Would LOVE to have GOG here with me!
afrothundaaaa <br /> <br /> I love GOG's philosophy and I feel that it falls in line with the principals of open source. I think this _needs_ to be done, to synergize with the principals of the company. You bring proton to this as @pizzaswag states, and you got yourself a powerhouse linux gaming platform <br /> <br /> Linux + DRM Free Native Gaming Clients = Death of Windows Desktop. Good For Microsoft, Good for People.
rukur +1 <br />
greatgeorge +1
pizzaswag this would be a gamechanger with wine and/or proton support
