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 ;)
metal-matze Considering Windows 11 is coming, which needs a Windows Account, relatively new hardware and TPM2, more people will try and probably stay with Linux.
theironbandit Well over 50,000 people have signed this wishlist item across multiple posts, yet GOG doesn't even acknowledge it. It's been years and nothing... I don't even buy games on GOG any more because it is pointless as I can't use cloudsave across different PCs
grYnnAn ...and when (if?) Galaxy gets released for Linux, there is a Community made derivation of Steams Proton, that I'll bet the gog community and/or/either the gameonlinux.com community will improve, for the (most) games without 'nix release. <br /> Valves version: <a href="https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton" class="light_un" target="_blank"><br /> https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton</a> <br /> <br /> Community made: <a href="https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/releases" class="light_un" target="_blank"><br /> https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/releases</a>
bigbeno37 If GOG could officially come to Linux, I would jump ship from Steam SO quickly! I'd really like to support DRM-free gaming, but having to use windows to get access to tech from the early 2010s is incredibly disappointing.
Eris7090 It's crazy to think valve has supported Linux more than a DRM free store
Akylen Steam Deck + GOG = <3
Dr.Sheppard After the Steam Deck was announced, I think the only chance to replay Valve is to release the Gog Galaxy on Linux before the Steam Deck is released.
Gaarco Gog Galaxy on the Steam Deck would be nice
faust.twi guys, we waited so long for you to even add linux versions of games with linux support and now only windows and mac versions for years. i'm tired of wairing, i'm tired to be rightless user, so i'm leaving. fuck gog.
Mijkami This would be a huge one for GoG. <br /> <br /> I ike DRM-free games and GoG's legacy but most of all, i like to have my games and launchers working. I've seen myself refraining from buying on GoG multiple games just from that, sadly.
Pufty Linux is becoming really easy to use and so I switched! Now I await GOG on Linux to get back into Cyberpunk (previously played on Win GOG Galaxy)
rodsup +1
S0ziopath C'mon, I really want to play my GOG games smoothly on my Linux.
Qwertikai Tldr: Come over to the Artic. Its Lonely Here! <br /> (Also Get Steam-Decked Please)
Crossphazer With the announcement of the Steam Deck and all the advancements of Steam Proton, you'll need a Linux client if you want to keep up.
zenmaster24 guys - gog games can be installed and run from steam by adding it if you care about using a launcher. <br /> <br /> gog - i still like you as you have good deals and your games can be easily added to lutris or steam <br /> <br /> thanks for being an alternative game store
emil2796 GOG Galaxy for the steam deck
Neldogz Would love GOG Galaxy 2.0 on Linux!
fiffty That would be amazing to put it on the Steam Deck as well!
JloDuH +1 for GOG Galaxy on Linux! It will be amazing ^_^
AMoonRabbit Whilst this would be ideal, GOG doesn't have it's own compatibility layer like Steam has Proton, and I can only imagine that if they were to release a steam client it would be nowhere as good as Steam's. Things could change after the release of the rival's hardware but I don't see this happening anytime soon.
castelobranco GOG Galaxy is a wonderful launcher. It has become my main launcher thanks to its merits. Releasing the launcher for Linux with the incoming Steam Deck will mean you can steal Valve's thunder and pull their own hardware out from under them. This would be a brilliant business move for you guys at CD Projekt.
Armored_Raven How am I going to play GOG games on my Steam Deck?
viol.sy I'm going to advise all my friends to stick to steam. At least they give a damn.
Apokakipsus Until you make a Linux client I will boycott your store. With Steam Deck on horizon I can finally get free from Windows, so Im not gonna sink more money into it. I hope GOG will be my storefront of choice again
bteg Now that Steam Deck is coming out and is based on Linux, can we please get a native Linux client for GOG Galaxy? Have the option to run native games but also Windows + Proton if Steam is also installed.
Zerachiel This please.
psyco001 definitly need that especially now after SteamDeck was announced and Opened Preorder
deluxequadrat Please make it happen - Linux is the future!
minneyar Just imagine how great it would be to be able to install Galaxy on the Steam Deck and then run your GOG games either natively on it or through Proton.
SargonAelther Seeing how Valve just dropped Steam Deck this is now more important than ever before.
mdecorde if Linux support is a money problem. I'm willing to give some
Birnir Just moved to Linux, and i must admit i am bit dissapointed that i can use GOG anymore, but i will continue to use Linux, hope you can join me in the future.
Piepsii +1 I'm starting to use linux as my primary desktop. I think it's the future and the more games support it the better it will be!
Barbarius1 Go back to Steam. Galaxy for Linux isn't happening, no matter how much we all want it to. <br /> <br /> You can get the same games on Steam and have them work pretty much hassle-free on Linux using Proton, so why are we all screaming into the void wanting GOG to support us? <br /> <br /> They aren't. <br /> They won't. <br /> Wishing for it hasn't changed any of that, meanwhile Valve/Steam ARE supporting Linux.
qba I moved to linux and now I can't use Gog galaxy.
mojitomay Please release a Linux GOG Galaxy-client and free uns Linux users from Steam!
Durtya Guys, the only reason I am using Windows now is that there is no Gog client for Linux
kystas25 @Loggien Packaging isn't a problem. <br /> They could use .deb and appimage for all other distros but they don't care ; )
Loggien Lutris is the way to go for now. <br /> <br /> I've been testing it for a couple of weeks, works wonders with several games!. Gamehub is great too and Minigalaxy too. But i prefer Lutris over them for the long range support of patches and workarounds. <br /> <br /> And also release GOG for linux in any way or form; .deb, .rpm, .pkg, you name it. <br />
mcf8 +1 <br /> Please release gog galaxy client for linux!
Teroshan Exact same experience as below, I regret some of the purchasing decisions I made, as I should have bought some games on steam rather than GOG to be able to play them more smoothly on Linux. <br /> <br /> It felt good to buy them on GOG at the time, I thought that GOG shared my philosophy. <br /> <br /> That was until I learned that the GOG Galaxy client isn't supported on Linux and all the games I bought on GOG have to be installed and managed manually. <br /> <br /> Without cloud saves from the client, I don't even want to play some games I started on Windows anymore, and I really should have stuck with steam from the start.
divinity_eternal I thought I could hack a GOG game to work using Wine and Steam Play. Turns out not, so I am not going to use GOG until Linux is supported. Come on, stop pressing us to use the software of unethical corporations!!
hel10_ Ironnically that DRM-free shop doesn't work without Windows-DRM.
andhos 1/2 regrets buying hollow knight on GOG is that it still doesn't have a linux client. The other reason is Steam controller mapping can't be beat (which I don't expect another client to be able to match).
RitualSuicide With windows 11 looming in the near future, more people will search for a OS where you can have more freedom (then when forced to use a MS account) , so it will be worth releasing it before the windows update to 11 comes ^^
philbla Until you properly support Linux, I will continue to buy my games on steam
Mr.Khilji CDPR Please we need it :( <br />
zlobny_bober i need it <br />
DrHooligan Windows is a virus and mac is spyware/ripoff. I use Linux ppl!!!
