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 ;)

Dash8017 GOG galaxy can become the go to choice for everyone who doesn't want to pay for an OS on top of his gaming rig, If you Give Linux Support.

Rakuen03 Why isn't GOG doing more to support Linux? DRM free and FOSS appear to be ideologically similar so shouldn't it be a priority for GOG? I tried to buy through GOG to support DRM free but my friend buys through Steam because he says Steam has been supporting Linux (and it has done a great job there) but GOG ignores Linux. It seems so crazy.

pmilleroly27 GOG Galaxy on Linux is CDPR best chancing at competing with steam on linux. <br /> Currenlty Steam is the winner and currently makes me more likely to consider buying content on Steam. <br /> Make a good GOG Galaxy application on deb., .rpm and .pacman packaging systems to compete with steam. <br /> Make sure GOG Galaxy provides options to work with wine/lutris
jenzzzi plzzz!
Vizera Lets keep Cyberpunk2077 in the realm of fiction and fight against corporate totalitarianism by supporting linux.
federix +1 Liiiinux! <br />
randomx27 +1 for cyberpunk2077 on linux!
Maxi017 +1 C'mon guys you can do it :)
Lyrica C'mon guys, what could possibly be taking so long?
dawiddejager Hear hear!
caiuscicero +1, Go for it!
BloodaxeNOR Come on GOG, it's been "in progress" forever. I want auto-updates for my GOG games :-(
tomster2300 I also approve of @Tome777's idea of official Lutris / GameHub support!
tomster2300 I definitely approve of this!
grady_vuckovic I will go on a MASSIVE spending spree on GOG if we get a GOG Galaxy Linux client. MASSIVE. At least several hundred dollars. COME ON CDPR, make this happen!
grady_vuckovic I would have thought CDPR would support the plight of those who are trying to undo Microsoft's monopoly on the OS market.. :c
yukovamp I approve this idea.
grbg200025 I love GOG, but i would love it more with linux support <br />
mr_ant Open source this for the best possible experience. <br /> Plz
Alexander_DeLarge Not having Linux support for GOG Galaxy 2.0 is so frustrating because it complements the open source plugin module and things like Lutris so well. This wouldn't be a platform if they'd just open source the client and let the community maintain it either. Imagine being able to implement a Proton wrapper that makes Epic Game Store/uPlay games playable at the click of a button (just like it is on Steam).
Darvit I found GOG because of Linux! It makes no sense to me that with all of the forward work GOG is pioneering for gamers that they wouldn't have a linux based launcher for us. Please hear us out and put one together for us :D
Tome777 Official GOG support of Lutris or Gamehub would be appreciated maby as an alternative to the gog team having to fully create a launcher from scratch.
Dragondeath I migrated to debian linux right now. <br /> <br /> Gog galaxy client was working on wine just some time, but, the last update break it - maybe my standard prefix is not as optimal as it sholud be - I'd some modifications for world of tanks 64bit. <br /> What are the minimum requirements for the wine prefix? <br /> <br /> I'm able to use most of the windows games via wine, some as better as with Windows 7, for excample "iron hearts" has bad video in Windows, its blinking all the time, but works fine with wine emulation. <br /> Only "aven colony" is boken right now - I will try it with an other prefix an other time, but not now - there are so much other games to play. <br /> <br /> I would like to use the galaxy feature "cloud save games" for my native linux games, too, but, this is not possible with the windows galaxy client, it only supports wine emulated games. <br /> <br /> I would prefer an linux galaxy client, which configurate an own wine prefix for each gog game, which has to be emulated by wine, this would be possible without high impact on developenent resourches (ok, there are more administration skills neeeded instead of programmers skills) but much comfort and great experiance for the user / customer base. This would be the simplest way of implementation. <br /> It's only some scripting needed, and of course well knowing of the real requirements of the games. <br /> <br /> In advanced, you can build some base prefixes for several games, as I do, and you would bind very low resources for a interested community, which possibly grow, while windows 10 updates are making windows worse again. <br /> <br /> I'm usually buy only on gog, since longer times, because of DRM-free and thats why its lower compatibility impacts while emulation, when there is no native client available. <br /> <br /> Give me an furter reason to buy in this store please! <br /> Give us an linux gog galaxy client!
moorell I can only repeat what other guys wrote: lack of GOG Galaxy Linux native client makes me look at Steam first and buy there. And it is not because of resentment or anything of this sort. It is simply a matter of pure convenience and quite often it is just fully automatic process, a reflex. <br /> One thing more: game having Linux client is a very significant factor in my buy-no-buy decision making process.
LeoLambda Still waiting on this for... how long now? You want to "unify all clients" and yet continue to leave us Linux users out in the cold. Can't really imagine switching to GOG entirely when the _only_ service giving me cloud saves is Steam.
kii0n Please, release GOG GALAXY 2.0 for Linux as well! <br /> <br /> The one and only reason I buy games from Steam instead of GOG (even if price is higher) is b/c they have Linux client app that updates purchased games automatically!

nitsuga5124 Let's hope 2.0 will have Linux support from the first release ongoing.
Aegelward I can see why they never bothered making the 1.0 Galaxy client for Linux, since it would have been a waste of effort. Hopefully once the Windows/Mac betas are over, a Linux beta will start up.
butcher777 I'm still looking for ... GOG client for linux
Muvon53 Please GOG brings the Linux client. Since cloud saves it is a must. And since also new games appear on GOG because of the frequent updates also.
comphys99 C'mon GOG, release your client for linux and integrate wine into it like steam has. Please. I really want to support DRM free, but I don't use winblows anymore.
snkboarder I feel like GoG and Linux have very similar philosophies. Even though most Linux software is free, I don't mind paying for good software- when I do buy games I always check what's available in Linux on GoG and Steam before rebooting into Windawz. It'd be nice not to have to do that. :) Could you guys at least make GoG run for some games, like older 2D ones? <3 <3 <3
biaki I just discovered that I cannot even download a Linux version of old games that use DOSBox anyway. Why??? Supporting Linux should be natural considering the GOG philosophy. Please act!
bzmx GAWD! if GOG Galaxy and CyberPunk 2077 both had full Linux Support i would be in heaven! :D
possiblehonks Please! I want to fully escape from Microsoft and Steam!
MaxMansfield +1 Want GOG Galaxy for Linux
f_lux We just need it folks! Galaxy for Linux!
arvind.d Linux is getting better and better each day with gaming. I have been enjoying gaming on Linux for a while now and it would have been awesome to have a client to manage our games like Steam does. I don't care if GoG Galaxy doesn't have fancy DXVK stuff for now, but having a client that can auto-update games and provide cloud saves would have been really nice.
