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 ;)
ensis Real bummer that Steam is available on Linux but GOG Galaxy is not. One of the few things holding me back from moving my library away from Steam.
ZoeSnoe ...would be nice to have it on my Pingu...
raoulsnyman +1 Adding my voice to this.
GentleChinchilla Galaxy Client would be amazing for Linux users. I stopped using Windows few years ago and i have not regret it :D DRM -free games, freedom of choice and ideas behind those consepts are the things why i started using gog.com.
c3l3br1mb0r Please!!!!! <br />
Hieperdepiep There is more then enough reason why there is Gog galaxy for linux.... You can only find around 5 popular linux supported games on gog... And i think <a href="http://gog.com" class="light_un" target="_blank">gog.com</a> is thinking the same about that and that's the reason that nobody need Gog galaxy. Use gog on windows and steam on linux! ;-)
MaCroX95 +1 Would like to have such a neat client that is not necessary, rather optional!

Bumbieris112 It is been 2 years 2 months and 8 days (06.05.2015.) since first comment in this thread and yet still no Galaxy GNU/Linux client. <br /> <br /> HOW MORE YEARS WE NEED TO WAIT?????? <br /> HOW MUCH MORE VOTES WE NEED FOR THIS THREAD TO TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY???? <br /> <br /> <br /> DEVELOPERS, PLEASE RESPOND!!!!!! <br /> <br /> Actually, I would not be surprised if GOG Galaxy for GNU/Linux would came out when Half-life 3 is released...
2bani Please release GOG Galaxy on Linux!
Finsternis Don't care to get involved in any of the debates, just adding my voice: "Galaxy" will be nothing to me until it is native Linux. Won't even consider downloading it until then. If GOG wants to ignore me, it's their revenue loss. Oh, and I own more or less every Steam game that is available for Linux. So that's a lot of revenue.
karabela Galaxy for Linux, Gogogo!

onizou Try itch.io. Their client has been available for GNU/Linux for a long time. :)
roberpot Any way community can help to achieve this milestone?
dyrvere Sitrep? Alpha? Beta? Long awaited.
achalys Hm, I waited now since the start of galaxy that it will be released on linux. <br /> But as Yvn01 and others already stated GOG gives a f*ck about us linux users and the Glalxy platform is just one of many projects which are not supported (or maintained) by GOG. And as much as I love their DRM free approach there are other platforms who like us linux users. <br /> So: good bye and thanks for al the fish.
jonko_slovakia Guys, don't humiliate yourself by begging. They don't give a "Fword" about linux and linux users. No Galaxy client / Witcher 3 for linux means, spend your money somewhere else.
Yvn01 gog galaxy is excellent on windows but it will be perfect for linux (ubuntu). <br /> Especially for old games for old computer where windows is not working anymore decently. <br /> i pray for a 32 and a 64 bit for ubuntu :) soon. <br />
timberwolf007 To shut out a potential market is baffling to say the least. There are people who run dual boot systems or Linux only systems that would dearly love to have GOG Galaxy. I don't even know if GOG reads any of this but if someone does, just know that it'd be another tens of thousands of fans to cater (and sell : ) ) to.
riddick2014 Really GOG doesn't like Linux users. Anyway if anyone cares you can run this on Linux Wine, BUT the installer doesn't let you select linux version of games to install, it defaults to Windows versions when installing games which is annoying (really not hard to fix but GOG isn't Linux friendly).
Hadet It'd definitely be nice. Steam even detects what OS you're on when you go to their site and lets you download a .deb or .rpm for it. I'm not sure what luck people not on a Debian or Redhat based Distro not sure how good the support is but with Valve pushing VIVE and SteamVR into Beta on Linux it's pretty clear they're pretty damn serious about Linux support at this point.
mbutler78 Gabe Newell said it himself, Linux is the future platform of PC gaming. Get started now or get left in the dust!
Oerp for what it's worth, I'd love for Galaxy to come to Linux
Mkoniuszko Any news about galaxy linux client?
ScruffyDux Yes, please release Galaxy on Linux. Right now I have a browser window widget on my gaming desktop, pointed at my GOG account, just to make it a little easier. Galaxy would be so welcome!
qui3t I'd just like to interject for moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
JustJinxed Still waiting... and waiting.. and waiting.. <br /> <br /> Lease you guys could do is start a linux mint machine up, try running the client in wine and see where you guys are FAILING at. Hello, don't de-elevate and wait for a reply. TRY whatever it is you need to do, and code your elevation scheme properly. <br /> <br /> I looked at the logs on both wine and galaxy, and I just want to cry. Who coded this?
paupav gog has decent deals, but without cloud save I'l just continue freeloading games.
diegstroyer I'm using STEAM on linux, I'm waitting for GOG Galaxy Linux version
spike.137 Please make gog galaxy for linux as well! help us help you, not everyone knows how to install your games in the terminal, steam is way more user friendly than you.
fafangi As many others I wait for gog galaxy on Linux to buy games here, in particular cloud saves are a must for me as I play on multiple computers(desktop/laptop). Make it happen GOG!
GlockJones Please GOG Galaxy for Linux !
karabela +1 Come on, there are over 10k requests meanwhile.
Arkanium80 +1 Please
Gibson.Brent.84 Linux version would be great!!
Eofu Agreed
diraven One more for the Linux client.
Xeddius Seriously, It has been more than two fucking years. We're getting tired of waiting. You're losing a lot of business from a lot of people.
Xeddius Please Release at least a BETA client or something soon. Seriously, I want to buy more games but I'm refusing to do so until I can use the Galaxy Client. I'm also disappointed because I want to rollback a game and I can't because I'm on Linux and ONLY linux. I want to play mods with all of my friends but I'm hindered by the lack of a rollback feature. Please work on this!
nick10840 Please release GOG Galaxy for Linux
MrVochomurka +1 for linux version
synacktic So....

mazzafox also srsly WTF use RAS
mazzafox *nix community.
mazzafox GoG. Get yer shite together! <br /> the *nux community is a huge community of mostly tech savvy peoples willing to beta test , fix, and improve everything! <br /> open yer source, we'll polish it and make it shine! <br /> <br /> here's an excellent comment from Cyan4973 <br /> "Windows is becoming a toxic platform. I do no longer want to use at home, and switched to Linux. Convenience on Linux is still an issue when it comes to games. I hope GOG can make it happen." <br /> <br /> Until gog get their shit together, I'm afraid you've lost a LOT of good clients. <br /> <br /> We're mostly sticking to steam for now, at least we're treated like equals on steam. Go GABEN!!
bgh251f2 The constant badgering on the site, in the store, and on emails for me to install Galaxy is getting really annoying. I'm starting to get really pissed because of it.
gruel Bad technical choice (C# and .Net) explain the "delay". I can bet that the linux client will never happen.
