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 ;)
JeanMich Quite a shame not to focus on Linux from the beginning when you're defending DRM-free games. Windows and Apple are the opposite of the freedom spirit while Linux is. Since Galaxy arrived, my games on Steam went from 1 (Civ V) to more than a hundred (with most available on GOG), while I didn't buy much on GOG... Good way to make us look elsewhere... where Linux users are understood, because Linux is more important than DRM-free games, especially when Steam allow us to play on friends library offline, which means we don't need to spend money on all games.
Basiani I only buy games from Steam. There I have at least 300 games, mostly AAA, native and via Steam Play. I have no reason to buy anything from GOG. I don'r care GOG's credo "DRM-FREE", because it's not for FREE operating systems. They only made Witcher 2 for FREE operating system and that's all, no Witcher 1, no Witcher 3, no CYBERPUNK 2077 and damn not also GOG Galaxy client. That last one is to "hard" to port Linux, so I can imagine how hard for them will be make CYBERPUNK 2077 Vulkan version available for GNU/LINUX users. They only made it for GOOGLE. So I pitting Linux users, whoom loves that GOG, company that makes NOTHING for them, but makes everything for Microsoft, Apple, Sony and Google.
Basiani They are making DRM-FREE products only for NON-FREE systems, for WINDOWS and OS X. GOG.COM, you are kidding us?!

khalidproto Do it, or I will need to stop using gog
wujashek please do that :)
Cryobyte3 +1 from me, this is causing me to buy things on steam far more than I would like to!
rorto It's a pain to use Lutris to install GOG Galaxy on Linux. Please release GOG Galaxy for Linux :3
Caemor yes
breakercode +1, Proton is Ready, AMD/Nvidia drivers are ready, the numbers of this wish speaks by itself. Having a native client would be a good way to correspond to all Linux Gamers. A Flatpak of GOG Galaxy would be great!
deus000 oh god yeah
JNissi I've been gaming solely on Linux since 2001. There's a relatively good selection of Linux native games on GOG and I salute and thank you for that and I've actually bought several. But it's a fact that the Steam client makes buying and running pretty much any game, be it native or on Proton, so easy that you're leaking sales from me to Steam approximately 20:1.
clearer When/if you do release this for linux, please _please_ do remember that Ubuntu is not linux. It is an operating system that _uses_ linux, but is by no means _linux_. Using flatpak would be OK, but releasing the source would be infinetly better -- releasing the API that you use to interact with the servers would be perfect.
jonzlo GOG Galaxy = Great Concept, Splendid Execution <br /> GOG Galaxy available for Win & Mac = Great Start <br /> GOG's Obsession w/ Open Source & DRM Free = I salute you! <br /> Galaxy not yet released for GNU/Linux = WT(Actual)F

Ysvial When it works well, most games run better on Linux than they do on Windows. Please add full linux support the long-term revenue you will get will make it all the worth while. I will personally use GOG a heck of a lot more knowing support is there.
efeskebs +1. Linux gamers need some love.

Boldos +1 <br /> Oh yes please! Lack of proper Linux support is the only thing looking away from GOG now :-/
Amanita_M no Linux version makes me a sad panda

soulfighter Steam proton is what made switch permanently to linux and I'd love to have gog galaxy on linux to have a convenient access to my gog games on linux.
JordanPlayz158 +1 I'd buy games from GOG over steam (and any other game platform) if they released a Linux client!
Zerqz +1 yes please
arctica77 +1
tootyourflute +1 No native Linux client is the entire reason I don't use GOG much, because I haven't run Windows in probably 4 years at this point
devarion Very excited about this! I love Galaxy on my PC.
horkost Make it so!

philipborg There is a definite overlap between people who care about DRM-Free games and FOSS OS.
BaZurk.com Please release an official linux client.

DaraSilverDragon I really think the existence of nearly 29k upvotes on this is validation enough that there is a massive market here to be catered to. The 'only 1% of the market' copypasta is no longer valid or relevant in this modern age of google stadia and steamplay. People are getting fed up with windows' constant spyware, bloatware, and forced updates, and are realizing that linux is the way forward for personal computing... and those people want to play videogames. Where can they go to find all their favorite games, DRM free, in one place where they can link all their accounts and game from a single centralized platform under a trusted company? <br /> Without you, GOG... nowhere. It's time.
Adrlopgal Hi, GOG. I think I speak for many people when I say that I would like to buy many more games on your platform because your games are DRM free. This issue is something very important to those who care about privacy and 'libre' software. However, a high numers of costumers GNU/Linux users don't buy (or they have stopped doing it) on your platform due to your "indifference" towards the niche more interested in such things. I kindly ask you to dedicate more efforts to gain the respect of your GNU/Linux customers by realeasing Galaxy for GNU/Linux (it'd would be currently available if it were free software) and using/forking Proton. We all know that Steam is many orders of magnitude larger than your company and that most developers prioritize Valve's platform, but I consider you're losing opportunities of standing out from the rest. Regards.
elopsteam Please , give support to Linux! Please! <br /> <br /> -->We love Linux+Gaming+GOG!!! <-- <br />
sklorpion !! + 2!! ad Linux support!

dragonfyre13 I would also like GOG Galaxy on linux, in fact lacking support for this is among the major reasons I continue to buy games on Steam vs GOG (including Cyberpunk 2077, one in particular I would _much_ rather buy on GOG). Though certainly much of my gaming occurs on Windows, it's absolutely essential to me to have a local library management app that runs on each of my OSes of choice. <br /> <br /> For reference in determining profitability, I'm currently at only 331 games on GOG (not including DLC/etc.), however I'm at 5,519 games on Steam (at the current moment, not including DLC/etc.). Few of these are the "crapware" type games picked up at a 95+% discounts, often seen in libraries as large as mine. Quite a number of my purchases would have been on GOG had a Linux GOG Galaxy client been well supported, given I far prefer to purchase DRM free games wherever possible. <br /> <br /> Steam ID for reference: <a href="https://steamcommunity.com/id/dragonfyre13" class="light_un" target="_blank">https://steamcommunity.com/id/dragonfyre13</a>

jcain_gog I would also like this for Linux (Deb/Ubuntu)
dda I would love to have a client for Linux.
headlesscyborg Tried to use GOG, bought some games. Unusable without GOG Galaxy for Linux. 500 games on Steam, 6000€ spent on Steam, was going to build a big library here as well. Nope. Not unless there is a native client.
