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 ;)
BloodaxeNOR Come on GOG, people are saying they'll port it FOR FREE in the comments here... Get it done!
xtorquex I'm going to come here regularly and repeat my offer: I'd bring this thing up on Linux. All in my spare time. I'd sign an NDA. I'm a professional C++/Qt developer and I have experience with the PoCo libraries.
magnumklassik As much as I'd like to buy more Games from GoG, it's currently no option without a client for Linux. Please put more effort into it, since so many people are waiting for so long now.
TheLokian Still nothing?
MordragT Hmm well kinda sad that theres still no store i getting the feeling gog doesnt really care about their Linux users
rhydderch How many years has this been 'in progress' now?
Ragnor369 "О смертное создание - я просто поражён!" - говоря словами Тираэля. Эта тема была поднята ещё в 2016 году, а уже 2019 год! Вот весит у этой темы статус в Работе, а вот общественность до сих пор не в курсе: В каком же состоянии у вас разработка и на каком этапе находится? Уважаемые разработчики! Будьте добры - пролейте свет на сей тёмный вопрос! Стоит ли надеяться на выход GOG Galaxy под Linux или уже всё? Желающих, как видите по количеству подписантов темы не мало. В том числе и я. Я даже из-за этого долго не регистрировался на GOG - ждал выпуска вами GOG Galaxy... <br /> <br /> "Oh mortal creature - I am simply amazed!" - in Tyrael's words. This topic was raised in 2016, and already 2019! Here the status in Work weighs at this subject, and here the public still doesn't know: in what state at you development and at what stage is? Dear developers! Be kind-shed light on this dark question! Is there any hope for GOG Galaxy to be released under Linux or is that all? Wishing, as you can see by the number of signatories of the topics is not enough. Including me. I even because of this for a long time did not register on GOG - waiting for the release of your GOG Galaxy...
mirakus Why is there STILL no Galaxy for Linux? Granted, I don't use it, but part of the reason I haven't adopted it is the lack of Linux support. Despite what forum trollers would have you believe, *nix is not hard to develop for! It's astounding. There are a lot of Linux gog'ers and it's worth supporting this segment of the community!
volodalexey GOG Galaxy for Linux! <br /> It would be nice also, if old Windows games can be automatically launched/executed on "GOG Galaxy for Linux" (with Wine, PlayOnLinux, Vulkan API, etc.)

fridaythe14th I'm surprised to see noone mentioned <a href="https://github.com/tkashkin/GameHub," class="light_un" target="_blank">https://github.com/tkashkin/GameHub,</a> the only real GOG Galaxy alternative for GTK/Linux (also supports Steam and Humble Bundle, compatibility layers (like Wine, Proton, DosBox and ScummVM). Not perfect but pretty awesome!

robotman5 we need gog galaxy on linux pls
kingduku Just one more step and we can have a native Linux version of GOG Galaxy. Go for it, guys! Linux rocks and you as well, of course :)
rpgresearch Please! Been using LInux since 1994. And using it 95% of the day for over 10 years for all work with clients (educational and therapeutic use of games for various populations). Linux supported greatly needed.
DjDeets I simply cannot go on without the cloudsaves enabled by the GOG galaxy client, I will be buying all my games from steam (even a a premium) from this point on until a client comes out.
davstern Dear GOG, I moved to Linux completely about two years ago. Not sure if you noticed but I already stopped buying games which do not run on my system (except recent purchase of Into The Breach, where developers promised a Linux version). <br /> Would you like me to buy more games? The first step would be to release Galaxy for Linux. I would really love to see you competing with Steam for Linux players...
TheSwallow There is already a way to use GOG Galaxy on GNU/Linux and you can launch Witcher 3 from it directly! For that use Lutris and install there lutris:gog-galaxy-125130-2 ( currently to be reviewed by moderators). That's it! <br /> <br /> Take away MS Windows market share! <br /> <br /> IMPORTANT: DISABLE GOG GALAXY OVERLAY <br /> <br /> This is a repost.
BoBXygene Starting with Linux 5, it becomes a decent gaming platform. <br /> The problem is to maintain compatibility with all those outdated distros. <br /> With Linux you have to accept it wont run for everyone and some people will have to conform to a set of prerequisites and even with that it might not run (because free software are a mine of bugs and most wont ever be fixed, maybe until another project takes over).
Paulie81 I'm moving to Linux full time so if there is no support I'm sorry to say I will stop buying from G.O.G.
boltronics All these years I haven't been purchasing anything from GOG (I've got 300+ games in my library mostly purchased before SteamOS was a thing) all because there's no Galaxy client. GOG turned out to be such a disappointment. I come back here once every few months to see if anything has changed, but it never has. Meanwhile, Steam has continued to get better to the point that it now has Wine built-in, so obviously that's where my money is currently going.
ferrnando Please add a Client for Linux, we need it.
MentalButcher Seriously though, the Windows client is just a half decent electron app, which means they just need to add the flag to compile for linux and it's a done deal (with a few minor caveats). Just get on with it dammit! <br /> <br /> Also better yet, if they actually opensource or crowdsourced the clients, they would be getting so much development for free.
dron1885 Still "In progress". Give us not even CLI version, just an API. Community will finish everything else in a matter of weeks.
timvisee An insane amount of votes if you ask me. Hope GOG will spend some time to work on porting Galaxy to Linux!
Heikishi +1 <br /> Be awesome GoG Team, do it ! :)
AhFiexu1 I am annoyed by the treatment of linux as a nigger.
srkelley5 I mostly use your client in Windows and run some of the games on linux via native binaries and wine. I'd switch to always using it on linux if you made a decent client available.

abs.sg Please. guys. I have to use Steam because GOG has no client for Linux. And don't want to! I want to buy games in GOG. But having no PM for my games is so inconvinient
spacekiltro With Wine/Proton support for Windows games!
gollma01 We needed it like 5 years ago and still do
Pangaea666 I'd rather they remove the blasted galaxy client everywhere, instead of bringing the plague to Linux too. I prefer Linux because it doesn't have plagues.
snakeboy1989 I second this <br />
Pixel_Lime Penguin need support!
ElGabo Come on GOG!!!! It's time to act!
AlmostAHero I believe GOG's no-DRM policy is the closest thing to the Linux ethos (and just, you know, trusting your customers) and would like to support that. <br /> <br /> I would love to see more games released with native Linux support but, barring that, at least an effective way to download the games I've bought, rather than relying on the site's abysmal direct download rates with no means to continue interrupted downloads or the now long-in-tooth GoG Downloader. <br /> <br /> A Linux GoG Galaxy client would go a long way in mitigating that.
lordespectro yes,please

xtorquex Open source it, the community will port it for you. I would help out, I'm a professional Qt developer and have experience with PoCo.

GrimBells This would be appreciated. Thank you.
polishprogamer Proton for GOG (when they release Linux version)? Proton is open-source, after all :P
Kade7596 Want more FPS? Demand Linux-native games.
Jim_Slimmins It certainly would make things easier.
funkybomber "no Tux no bucks" ;)
Zavoka Looking forward to it
