Release the GOG Galaxy client for linux in progress
Added by
herbwest Please release the GOG Galaxy client for Linux, because there are many penguins out there who would prefer to buy games on your site, but don't do so, because of the convenience of the Steam client. Sorry for my bad english, but I'm no native speaker ;)
Jedes13 GoG on linux would be a great way to play very old and good classic games from Blizzard, Random Games Inc, etc
guillaume042 LINUX !! :D
sckwib god, YES PLEASE <br />
ivanmj12 Please, release GOG client on Linux. Thank you)
Kev-Ooks Waiting for a linux client to ...
network23 linux client plz!!!!11
dellafuente How many years has the "in progress" tag been there? Come on, Gog.
iKarith This one's important. I'm 100% Linux these days. Most of my interest is older games, which you've got. I've paid for a couple of them on here, others I've had to get elsewhere. <br /> <br /> I still tell people who aren't Linux gamers to hit up GOG first.
sotilas82 It would be about time Linux have official support from you devs :) <br /> it's unfair windows & mac user has support but not Linux & Christmas is 1 month a way...
ObamaBinFladen 'cmon you can do it GOG Galaxy for Linux would be fu**ing great!!!
maddNeal PLEASE! Even if it's a version of it that lets you stream from a Windows computer to my Ubuntu laptop it'd be better than nothing. I've been waiting YEARS for proper Linux support of the launcher. We never even got official support for the old GoG Downloader
Gabriel-Gomes I would love to be able to natively run GOG Galaxy cliente in linux.
naryl The Steam experience just became the worst on either Windows or Linux. I'd rather use GOG website than Steam. @DaGreenGames, you can download any game I checked under "Download offline backup game installers" on your profile's game page. <br /> <br /> That said, having an actual client would be great. <a href="http://itch.io" class="light_un" target="_blank">itch.io</a> and GOG are the only DRM-free options as of now and <a href="http://itch.io" class="light_un" target="_blank">itch.io</a> has its client ported to Linux already.
pete14312 Same here. Again deciding, if I should go with GOG on the Halloween sale, or with Steam. The Steam experience just is a lot nicer on Linux. And with multiplayer games it might even mean you can't play multiplayer on GOG. <br /> In particular that there are no real updates on the process of GOG galaxy on Linux, no transparency. Is there really someone working on it? Is it really "in progress"? I doubt that, if for years the state is the same with no updates whatsoever.
roeleveld When GOG Galaxy is available for Linux, I will go back to buying games here.
ZloyGik Linux is the best operating system out there. And the possible future of gaming. So releasing Linux version of GOG Galaxy is imperative. Steam did that already. Come on guys! You can do better!
justbenq come on guys...
DaGreenGames What is this ****************!!!!!!? <br /> I cant even download my DRM FREE games without CLIENT! Now i cant USE ANY OF MY 42 GAMES FROM GOG !!!! <br /> Cause i am using LinuX??!?!?!?!?!?!?! <br /> Get this ***** together !!! <br />
JTNGaming Please do this, or at least give us achievements that something like Lutris can use with an API. Everything else can be replicated on Lutris, Google Drive, or the like.
mrSpaceman +1 I'm going to give it a go running Galaxy with Wine, or maybe the "backup installer" with Wine. GamersGate's downloader worked with Wine, so fingers crossed. However, a native app would obviously be better!
kapcom01 I have had enough with DRM on Steam and Origin (through Wine). A few days ago, I decided to never buy a DRM game again. I like GOG very much and I have already started buying games from it. Then I import them into Lutris (which makes Wine/Proton easier to setup) and I am a happy man. <br /> <br /> Lutris support everything as far I know. From my old MS-DOS games to Proton and libretro games like Nintendo Wii. The only thing I miss is discovering and buying new games. This could be solved for me if GOG Galaxy is released for Linux, preferably as Free Software. <br /> <br /> I believe in GOG and CDProject :)
HarryDoudou I'll wait one more year, if gog and red project still ignore linux base I'll move on itchio.
Daerandin What I would like to see, is the option for Linux users to get involved when a Linux version is in the works. I would personally love to help weed out bugs and test it through the development process.
Phorneus I would really appreciate a Linux client. I haven't bought any games from you now in over 2 years due to this fact. Your no DRM is so very well suited to the Linux community's mentality. It's beyond my comprehension that this has no attention from GOG.
tuxayo I would back a crowdfunding for making the port. So this wouldn't be a financial risk for GOG. Bonus if it would be libre/open source. <br /> This is important because Steam with Linux support and proton is preferred by Linux users despite GOG's work for DRM-freedom. <br /> When it's expected that they should prefer GOG instead, or at least equally support.

Anton9862 I don't know why they still didn't make it for linux. That would be very nice to have GOG galaxy client on Linux.

RealSilentium I have been with gog for uncounted years now. I'm now gonna say 'good bye' because I finally had the courage to switch to Linux just a few days ago. It's a pity that gog did not manage to support Linux.

OnionCookie +1 to this topic. I had to buy games on Steam, where old games are not fully compatible by modern software and hardware (u need to download a lot of patches, fixes, and still no guarantee that the game will work), compared to GOG where compatibility is main advantage to buy games from here.
Kerrimae Honestly, it’s been years at this point since we got a “coming soon” deal for Linux. GoG doesn’t respond to anything about this, there’s obviously a huge demand for this but it’s obvious they couldn’t care less about their Linux user base. Continually saying something is going to happen yet never delivering is in my opinion horrible business practice and a good way for GoG to lose a lot of customers/business. I’ve watched this for years and 2.0 is now coming and we still get nothing from them. Honestly, at this point I’m sick of waiting and I’m done buying games from a company that lies out of their teeth to customers. Valve is supporting Linux better than GoG and even created their own operating system for Steam. Things go quiet with them but look at the advancements they make and all. GoG, I’m saying it... You suck. I’m tired of it and am going elsewhere. I’ll never buy another game from you all at this point.
BavarinFleetfoot Seriously, I own literally HUNDREDS of games bought on Steam. Why? Because GOG Galaxy doesn't exist for Linux, and Steam DOES! A HUGE percentage of those games WOULD FOR CERTAIN have been bought HERE if I didn't have to download and update them manually by hand when literally ALL other software on my Linux system gets updated automatically. Bring Galaxy to Linux, and you'll gain SO many purchases just from me alone, and I'm by FAR not the only person who'd start buying here, I'm quite sure.
tekkenfreak3 I went to play Stardew Valley over the weekend and saw a positive hint: it seems that GOG now provides galaxy support libraries for Linux. That at least means no game should go unported because Galaxy isn't here.
seankirk I have supported GOG from almost day one. The reason is simple - GOG offers great "value" for gamers by selling "DRM free games". <br /> <br /> That is why GOG can not only compete with Steam today, but has also grown over the years. <br /> <br /> But, Microsoft is dropping support for Win7 in January and there is no way that I (and who knows how many others) will EVER "upgrade" to Windows 10. This month I spent my money on new hardware (rather than games) to specifically run Linux. <br /> <br /> Please GOG, increase support for Linux! Regards.
HiigaraX Gonna switch to Linux mint soon as well. Not gonna lie, u guys would get lots of positive attention from the gaming community and the media if u actually release a client for Linux users. In my case Im not gonna use win10 after the support for win7 stops in 2020. <br /> It would mean the world to us! GoG is one of the fairest platforms we know and a move like this would highlight that!
Engunto +1 <br /> I only buy Linux games or games I can run in Lutris. Would love to manage them through the galaxy client!
martynjlewis I agree - Steam is available for Linux, why not do right by the Linux community and add a native client?

KaiKu With a Linux client I would buy Cyberpunk directly from GOG and 100% would go to the developer (CD ProjeKt Group). Since this is not the case I will buy it from Steam (so only 70% to 80% for CD). Oh yes, and after probably not very long time I will play it there with Steam Play for Linux (also known as "Proton") also directly under Linux. Just like I already did with The Witcher III. <br /> <br /> No Tux, (no) less bucks!
spayder26 It's pretty ashaming the way you exploit all that work on compatibility tools done by the FOSS community without contributing back with a proper client for GNU/Linux.
njmarine2001 GOG folks. What is the holdup on the galaxy client for Linux? This has been a wish and "in progress" for a while now and I do not see any updates presented to the community. <br /> <br /> Even if the development is slow due to lack of funds / personnel / perceived value, or some other reason. At least provide us with some update on the status of the request. <br /> <br /> Thank you.

byku50 For me its really simple, no linux client means I'm not gonna buy any more games from you, but from steam which has linux client.
Joeyboots The time it is taking to get around to making a Linux client for the galaxy app has gotten so ridiculous that it borders on comedy. I just don't get it, Linux is still growing as a gaming platform, and it's certainly a lot bigger than it was back when CDPR promised a Linux version of galaxy. Seriously guys? WTF?
creepeurman Yes we want it !
kamagan I hoped Galaxy 2.0 will be with native linux version. I am disappointed.
4lphac Linux user here, you suck, never again
davstern I really laughed when I got that invitation to Galaxy 2, close beta. Just Win and Mac? You must be joking GOG. Haven't you noticed what Steam+Proton can do on Linux? Sorry guys, I am going to stick to Steam for ALL my future purchases until you release Galaxy 2 for for Linux too. <br /> If you haven't noticed: all AMD graphic card drivers are open source. Intel is soon going to introduce their own graphic cards - all with open source drivers too. This all mean there will be more games natively available for Linux in future. Even Nvidia is starting to see it and (slowly) goes towards introducing open source drivers for their graphic cards. <br /> Sorry GOG , but by ignoring Linux you are going to lose quite a share of games market...
aethawalka I am another Linux user, I would be really glad if you will develop Linux version of GOG Galaxy, many thanks for your work GOG team :)
