Release the GOG Galaxy client for linux
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 ;)
bostoniansd A Linux client with syncing game saves would be perfect.
MissedShotik agree
josephjn Why not just sell a $10 item which goes directly to funding a Linux client? You sell so much other junk which doesn't work for $10. It wouldn't be any different.
jakubpas When?
glebelg Maybe SteamDeck will make them change their mind...
hypergnash I will not buy any game on gog until there is a native linux client.
##@@##@@ LOL at you idiots still expecting them to release it after over 9 years this June since they first promised it.
ion00 Please GOG, make the client run natively on Linux. I have bought hundreds of games from your store and I would like a native GOG client so I don't have to use so many work around to play my games. I don't think I am alone in this regard. Having a store that is both DRM free as well as Linux friendly is like a match made in heaven.
rena1 I see all the amazing deals that I would love to purchase, but after having to deal with the pain in the back that was downloading and updating Cyberpunk from GOG to run on linux, Ican't justify buying another game.
radiarion Just found Minigalaxy and it works fine for native games (so far) but windows games Ive had no success yet, but maybe Im not doing something right...
brendaar use LUTRIS and install the GOG Galaxy installer.. Works perfectly
Cyb3r-5h0t4 I just found GOG after switching to linux about 2 weeks ago thaught it might help to run some games that can't otherwise run on linux (Dissapointment)
cftygv Ffs. still no linux client. :C

Pamphagus Give GOG a break, it is not like they are sitting in Bermuda drinking cocktails on the beach! They chose to prioritise other parts of their service, and unfortunately we linux gamers are left behind. Probably cause they know we do find other ways to install things compared to windows users who need a GUI to install things. And possibly getting multiplayer to work well between linux and windows is difficult, who knows.
marcussacana And with something like proton.
JloDuH +++ <br /> Give us GOG Client on Linux! <br /> Please... <br /> ^_^
BavarinFleetfoot Nice that it only took them *oh so very many years* to stop outright lying about it bein' "in progress".
M_LARRY It's sad to see how you neglect Linux users, especially considering how many there are. I was drawn to GOG for it's effort in delivering a gaming experience where the gamers are trusted and not treated like just an income. I really want it to work. But since you deliver absolutely no support for Linux, despite the demand, I (and MANY other users) simply will not buy from you and go somewhere else. Nothing personal, we will just keep playing games on supported platforms until GOG can compete (which at the moment can not)
Keule33 Didn't have this wish the "in Progress"-Tag before??? <br /> <br /> Does this mean they're not doing it after all?
Nopraz With the steam deck now out, it would be so great to have the client on Linux !
OracleCensor I just masturbated to this wish
metal-matze Sorry GOG. I won't buy any more games on your platform - which is really sad because I like the DRM free aspect. I just got my steam deck and switched to linux about a year ago. Steam is so much better on linux than GOG. When you release a native GOG client for linux, I will gladly come back.
##@@##@@ 8 years of lies then they removed the wishlist in progress.
Daroface Am I wrong or this wish had already "in progress" status? Today I checked this wish, and surprise, this status disappeared o_O
karloff10 Making the Linux client is no longer in progress? <br /> That's sad, now i have to vote with my money, no more buying here until there is a client for linux.
waltercool Could you at least make a basic UI using the galaxy API for Linux? Enough to keep games updated and everything?
dawid298 It seems they do everything to do nothing about ANY Linux support. While other platforms at least do not prevent Linux users from using their launcher, GOG is doing opposite. <br /> <br /> They musy know how important is Steam deck for Linux community, and what they say asked about support on it? Go install windows and enjoy. Pitiful. More examples they sh*t on Linux community? How long that whishlist lives? Years. <br /> <br /> I actually regret having some games here.
DimensionSlider Let us download Windows client on Linux. I wanted to download it on Steam Deck but there was no URL.
bhak At least make it so I can download old DOS games and run them in emulator on Linux without you downloader app. Now I have to use wine to run Galaxy to emulate a DOS game???
endrjug I'm not going back to windows. Gog should cooperate with steam to support linux even more. It's not funny when your OS takes more and more resources or says it will not update because my platform is almost 3 years old xD
ZubatyZub Is it just me or did they remove this from the "in progress"
Fly_the_Twister Steam Deck is out, Linux Version is more important than ever before. Don't make me regret buying games on gog please!
gabriel_blake I'm buying some games missing from my collection. Buying them on Steam, not GOG - solely because Steam works nice on Linux and Galaxy after so many years is still not supported.
##@@##@@ Thanks for the 8 years of lies time to delete my account: <br /> <a href="https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2014/06/gogcom-announce-galaxy-their-optional-client-linux-support-to-come/" class="light_un" target="_blank"><br /> https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2014/06/gogcom-announce-galaxy-their-optional-client-linux-support-to-come/</a>
Galactical-Edge The fact GOG has yet to release Galaxy on Linux is what is making me stick with Steam. <br /> <br /> Until they release Galaxy on Linux, I'm sticking with Steam.
Zurek4004pne I am asking for a Linux client or a save cloud for Heroic Games Launcher
gcuezy How sad to have switched back and find that literally everything else I needed works fine but gog doesn't have a linux client :(
T.M.P LMFAO they removed the "in progress" status, shows how little they care about Linux.
bnwww Just swapped from Win10 to PopOS (Ubuntu/Debian based) knowing I could play Witcher 3, only to find I can't because it's via GOG. Had I purchased via Steam it would work :/
gsf__ keep sleeping on this cdpr, ... <br />
Mr.Khilji I am once again asking you for a linux client ~Bernie
pehyf +1 (there are other GOG-Launchers, i know)

CartoonFan I know few, if any, of the devs will see this, but I feel there ARE a few things they can do for this wish. The easiest would be to simply put a visible rationale for their decision at a relevant location on the site (last I heard, the reasoning for not porting Galaxy was due to lack of manpower). Besides that, either giving people the resources to access the API (so developers can create their own applications), or making an open-source, free software Linux client for everyone to use would be acceptable solutions to me.
centr0as +1 :)
baendchen literally the only reason for me to bother buying games elsewhere. I already play on linux (via lutris) but the possibility to get achievements and use the cloud for savegames conveniently would be so good. We know you care, and you know we want this!
