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.

SEALSAK74 WHAT IS GOING ON???
sTiKyt Makes no sense, as far as i know THERE ARE LESS MAC PLAYERS than linux ones... So why they have client and we don't?
Notblue 2 years since I decided to go into the Linux way. Two years waiting any news, two years playing my games in Linux without close contact to Gog and make them work by myself. Came on!, just a little hope for us.
KrackMcZaken Mac's have a client, while Mac's lack of gaming hardware. At the moment, Mac's are also on their way to ARM. Linux on the other hand often has potent gaming hardware onboard, X86 hardware... When there is already a Mac client, there is already some kind of an Unix base for GOG Galaxy existing. So why..... ?!
dancinglazer why does it do that
dancinglazer thats in between the letters and stuff
dancinglazer <a href="?><><>https://github.com/sharkwouter/minigalaxy>NJK:?LBJ?><" class="light_un" target="_blank">?><><>https://github.com/sharkwouter/minigalaxy>NJK:?LBJ?><</a> BJKLBHG vist the site
dancinglazer stop making it hard to read the links its like they want you to have no client for linux
dancinglazer <a href=""https://github.com/sharkwouter/minigalaxy"" class="light_un" target="_blank">"https://github.com/sharkwouter/minigalaxy"</a> download minigalaxy here they are not going to make a client for you
dancinglazer just download minigalaxy at this site <a href="https://github.com/sharkwouter/minigalaxy" class="light_un" target="_blank">https://github.com/sharkwouter/minigalaxy</a> dont bother with the lazy <a href="http://gog.com" class="light_un" target="_blank">gog.com</a> people they could have made a client in no time they just dont care
dancinglazer its not by the offical company of <a href="http://gog.com" class="light_un" target="_blank">gog.com</a> but there is minigalaxy and it has a gui cause the company is so lazy that the linux community made a gui client themselves cause gog wont do it
Sikarius * Checks GOG's games <br /> * Checks them on Steam too <br /> * Purchases on Steam <br /> * Runs on Linux using Steam natively or using Proton <br /> <br /> I wish things were different. I used to love Gog.
SuperZaxxon As games release on GOG that depend on GOG Galaxy, that means they either won't get a Linux release, even if they do on Steam (since there is a Linux steam client that allows access to the SteamWorks API), whereas Galaxy API is closed behind the Windows/Mac only Galaxy client. <br /> <br /> The community would do the job for you for free, if you just opened access to the Galaxy API. <br /> <br /> The sad part of this CDPR, is that Linux Gaming pretty much always supports GOG and craps on Valve/Steam because of DRM, yet Valve has support Linux Gamging more than CDPR for sure. I don't buy on GOG much anymore because at least on Steam, I know my Linux games will maintain parity with the Windows version and, you know, there stands a greater chance of a Linux release anyway. <br /> <br /> After writing this, I'm pretty sure I'm just going to stop supporting GOG from this point forward. I pretty much already have but I'll just stop supporting you in the community as well. <br /> <br /> What a ridiculous situation.

Naia_love this pleaseeeeee
Elvis-87 i cant get my achievements or track my gaming time in Linux. Please release a client. at least a basic one. People are waiting for at least 5 years now ...
bloor24 Guys, getting angry at and insulting the developers isn't really the way to go. Lutris and other Game libraries / launchers do a really good job, what we are missing however is the social integration (multiplayer support); the sentiment portrayed in some comments here that it is impossible to play GOG Games on Linux without a in-house launcher is mind-boggling. I for once really like the ability to launch the games using a independent launcher / runner, without needing the official distributor's one. (Compare that to Steam and their horrible closed licencing system system) <br /> <br /> Anyway: Some aspects of GOG Galaxy sound nice and are obviously also interesting for Linux Gamers, therefore a Linux Port (or even better integration in already existing systems) would be greatly appreciated. :)
Crystalxo Please release GOG Galaxy for Linux - it's the sole reason I don't use it as much as I want to. It is literally the perfect platform and yet we're forgotten about :(
gabrielftg Pleeeease?? It doesn't even have to be fully supported!! Linux people will go to great lengths on their own to make things work.
Lyrica It really sucks to be treated like a second/third-class consumer. GNU/Linux users would be CD Projeckt's most loyal customers if you actually followed through on this, because who among us wouldn't want DRM-free games on a DRM-free (& libre/open-source) OS? It would be a match made in Heaven. <br /> <br /> There are technologies you could deploy to make cross-distro compatibility & maintenance easier on yourselves, like Simon Peter's AppImage, Red Hat's Flatpak, or Canonical's Snap. There are technologies you could leverage to enable us to more easily play our Windows-only games, like Valve's Proton. If you really don't care to see this project to fruition internally, at least help out reverse engineers like the Minigalaxy, Lutris, &/or GameHub teams for their clients to be able to interact with your APIs & databases so the F/LOSS community can finish your job.
lhlfonseca C'mon, GOG team!!! So many people willing to give you more money here! How can you be blind to it? At least show us that you are working on it...
karsamo WHEN?!?!
Mikessss So disappointing after all this time. At least they could be honest about it. Not a dime from me until then.
cuines It would be great to have this app for Linux. <br /> <br /> And please GOG Team, don't argue that there's too few users for Linux. This is a false looping argument. I mean, too few app are ported to this platform, so people don't want to use it, so apps are not ported, and so on. ][ Break the loop! ][ <br /> <br /> Also, I don't think it's too complex; I can remember an app (built by amateurs) which allow to edit M***c***t worlds that worked all the same on Windows and Linux (few issues with OSX integration though), same UI, same possibilities and same results :) <br /> <br /> Go ahead, think wide!
dpanter It's been 84 years... but seriously what the fark GOG, get your shit together already. Sad beans.
ZeroXDiablo 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.
