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 ;)
tacotraplord I'm honestly surprised with GOG's game preservation efforts that there isn't already a Linux client. Please and thank you!
iowolf I would love getting a GOG Galaxy client on linux. I have stopped using windows for gaming and only have linux installed on all of my computers. I used to dualboot for years so I could work on Linux and game on Windows.
But now, for at least four years now I have been gaming elusively on Linux.
I plan to get a steamOS deck of some kind and GOG working on SteamOS and Linux would allow me to start using GOG again.
wieslaw.mlynarski I use linux for last 20 years. My money is waiting, when there is a linux client.
pyrrhicvictor If you really want the games to live forever, breaking out of the Windows straightjacket is a necessary step.
staticlifetime This is something that would be super helpful for users of SteamOS, Bazzite, and just Linux users in general. I really hope that GOG takes this suggestion seriously.
teawreckshero GOG gives us autonomy over our games, Linux gives autonomy over our hardware. The perfect match. So close, yet so far...
Mitsukuni You can hire "Heroic Games Launcher" dev for this job. It already works pretty nicely but we would like an official launcher too. Linux people already loves DRM-free and GOG Galaxy launcher for Linux would be awesome.
epiplon A Linux client with Proton support would be awesome.
Xiyng This has actually been a major concern for me lately. I've been increasingly considering switching to Linux, and while the time still isn't ripe for that, it's starting to be a concern for any new games I get. I'm happy with GOG supporting Linux, but I would also like being able to get achievements on Linux.
sirius2834 It goes without saying, all your work GoG is greatly appreciated. Just wanted to say, THANK YOU.
sirius2834 You had a few years to work on this, nonsense that it has not been done. Please support the Linux community. Supporting us will also lead to larger market share and ultimately who knows, maybe at some point Linux will get proper drivers for the video cards as well, as demand grows. Win-win.
Sulos1337 Its not about why you dont do it? Its about, why is it not already done?
ProtoManic Please make the client available, you don't even have to do anything else.
Avery_Whelan Pretty please
HisVirusness Yes, please do this.
deluxequadrat Take Steam as an example, there has long been a Linux client that even supports the installation of non-Linux games and it works great. Anyone who wants to use GOG games on their Steam deck have to deal with Heroic or Lutris. Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy about Heroic and Lutris, but they're not first party platforms and feel a bit hacky from time to time.
Moradur This would be really great!
DevDoctor It would be really appreciated
bolbit Pleaaase !
_Pingveno_4096 I am new to GOG and I am really happy with the service that CD Project red and GOG tam is providing, and I understand that GOG Galaxy 2.0 is in open Beta and it may take time, but please make a Linux native GOG Galaxy client for Linux, the GOG store has a Linux dedicated filter, and Linux gaming looks bright Steam Deck Lenovo Legion Go S SteamOS, and Linux classic distros.

mrsamy726 Please X38638
wanderer2991 Yes i would love a gog client on linux.
PerryRodriguez Linux + GOG would be a match made in heaven
AdinaTheNerd PLEASE
SkillerDankOP GOG is a must-have on any operating system! +1
AntilopeJack Dear people at GOG,
Huge thanks for bringing all these games to us. Now, plase, we would really like to have a Linux version of the mighty Galaxy client. Please, for the love of God. The one and only Antilope Jack support this (who is supporting GOG since 2012).
2Banano GOG on Linux, now it's the time!
Fab0 It's about time to release the GOG Galaxy Client for Linux. Linux is increasing it's market share due to the Win 10 EOL

Mish666 Pls, make GOG work on Linux. Linux is forever.
gbf616 Now's the time.
harshbarj Another +1 for Linux support.
CharlieBrown This is a fantastic idea and I hope it happens soon!
snaccpacc651 Moving to Linux soon, would love galaxy to be there too.
abexomotron Linux is the future for gaming. that why steamOS use Arch Linux. I hope developer later just get rid of dx and just use Vulkan instead.
LightningD1 So, I'm adding to the requests, I think the idea is great. Especially in light of W10 support ending soon.
rajatnegi13_3080 yes Please
Bojack666 We really want this. We need you on Linux. Do it as soon as possible, you won't regret it.
An_Onion How many years have we been asking for this at this point? I just want my saves to sync between the Windows versions on Galaxy and the Linux versions that are (currently not) on Galaxy!
snkboarder I've been running Galaxy through Bottles just so I can track my hours, achievements and chat with people. But, it's a little rough and games don't always play right. Textures are blurry for all my games, and I'm not quite sure why, but that's a post for another forum.
Knowcker I pay for a game, but this cannot run in bazzite (linux) fuck off

DavidBrigand Hi GOG team!
Thank you for your amazing work and for making GOG a 100% safe place where our data is protected! Given your openness to open source for connecting with other platforms, why not consider a GOG Galaxy client for Linux? It would make perfect sense for a community that values security and privacy!
We can't wait to see GOG Galaxy shine on Linux!
Thanks, and keep up the great work!
billymambo I agree, Heroic is good to have, but nothing replaces the GOG client. It just doesn't. Is it really that difficult to get it running with a proton-embedded setup? We made the leap guys, we ditched Windows. Allow Steam linking or let us download your games directly from your client.
AnimeKing18 The Heroic Launcher is great alternative it allows us to play GOG, Epic, and Amazon games on Linux and it has proton built in. But still would love to see a native version of GOG Galaxy. TBH I wouldn't use it because with Heroic I can add a shortcut of my games to Steam and use Steam Inputs for games that doesn't support my PS5 controller. Even on my Windows PC I use Heroic.
FLuffy_Toast I mean, it would be cool if you could make a native client, while integrating proton and modding for games. But it would be very hard, i get why you guys dont do it tho.
BerryPibbles Berry Pibbles supports this. Please save me.
Schtiewen87 We need linux support and support for the steam deck because it's an amazing console to play good old games ;)
