Linux version of officiial GOG Downloader
Added by
plaplar For now GOG Downloader does not run under Linux, not even with Wine-like emulation. I would like to see GOG.com officially support a Linux client (maybe through existing community project ?)
sPOiDar I'd generally like to support GOG, but it's an absolute nightmare trying to manage purchased games on Linux, to the point where I'm just pushed to use Steam.
JustJinxed Can we maybe combine all these requests for a linux GOG client into one? So you guys can see just how important it is, and get this ball moving?
mylurker Same thing here, I bought a game 1st thinking I would be able to download it from the normal web site, and then discovered I required gog galaxy... Which apparently worked at a time under wine, but it crashed miserably with my wine 2.4 despite having dotnet45 and vcrun2015... ! <br /> Oh well it forced me to reboot my old windows installation, I hadn't done that for quite a while now. <br /> <br /> So yes, something for linux users is clearly needed, we need at least some way to download things !
ixecftw First time using GOG, love it so far except that there is no linux launcher!
fmco Would helps us so much. You can see that linux players are increasing in number nowadays.
techdefined GOG please support Linux. The community will thank you and support you.
CalebQ42 Pleeeez add Linux version of Gog Galaxy. I know it probably isn't viable, but if you'd open source the code, I'd bet that you'd get a few people to help...
asturio Just got my first GOG game. Downloader or Galaxy will be really appreciated. +1
Aptus Yes please, I am in the process of transitioning to 100% linux, with gaming being my last holdout. Having the Galaxy Client on Ubuntu/Mint would be a great help in easing the transition.
Linuxu Bitte
mastershotgun Or release it as open source, we will make it work, no worries ;)
Dorzalty This better not become another "Witcher 3: Wild Hunt for Linux" lie. When are we going to get the Linux client? I really like the Galaxy client, it is a HUGE convenience, one that could make gaming on Linux easier. Please GOG, release the client for Linux! Even if it is so buggy it practically doesn't work! It will shown us you are working on it and haven't forgotten about your "Linux client soon" comment.
hollunder I'm not even sure I want GOG Galaxy... <br /> lgogdownloader is pretty good in the meantime, I use it to back up all my games. the only major feature I am missing is automatic removal of old version.
barakudragon Surely with this many pluses you would have some type of update by now?
GuruAbdul Yes please
Shagans GOG Downloader is not supported now becose we have GOG Galaxy :)
erbello It could works like PlayOnLinux, if the game hasn't got a Linux Version.
gicu Where is Linux client?
Rhaeserys I wonder if we will have a Linux client when we got to Mars.
BillyIII GOG, just publish the API ffs. :(
MellowTigger Another year gone by. No release, no release date, and no word on progress. Is it time for users to declare it vaporware and move on with their lives?
YKaelig Hi, I'm waiting for a gog client on Gnu-Linux then I will definitively switch on GoG.
levelup on linux
DerailBot3000 why it take'a so long?
goyangi please make it happen
bigbadwill definitely want a Linux version ASAP

Cxpher I'd definitely buy Pillars of Eternity from you guys already if you had GOG Galaxy for Linux. I'm not going to install a spying OS on my computer just for that though.

nghsojmv Open API is best idea here.
hovertricycle Please, I only run GNU/Linux/kFreeBSD on my computers :( A native GOG client would be incredible and the free/open-source community would love you forever.
djnicey I would have bought Pillars of Eternity and other games if the GOG Galaxy was available for Linux, instead I have to buy all my games from Steam. It seems the Linux client has been "coming soon" for an Eternity.
Skukkuk Just upgraded to 16.04 LTS Ubuntu Mate, but still no GOG GALAXY for linux availible. Well...instead of buying games on gog I have to stick with Steam.
vinterneti Why someone needs downloader after he payed for a game? <br /> And this downloader is for windows.
uthek +1
Dea1993 give us an ETA for release gog galaxy on linux. <br /> we are waiting from a lot of time. <br /> i need a good client fot gog.
lukensteinz13 I would purchase more games if the GOG Client were available. Instead I find myself using Steam more because of the convenience of it.
xpris Please add official support for GOG Downloader for Linux. Pls ASAP.
shellbofh +1, when will be available ?
djnicey +1
kdebreciner Would be cool to have GOG Galaxy on Linux. Maybe also open-source like Itch?
hollunder I just started using GOG and immediately tried lgogdownloader. It seems to work well enough, although there are always things that could be improved. No idea whether the official downloader is any better. GOG galaxy seems to have a broader scope.
masakari666 Yes, that would be very nice, i also work with steam for linux.
Joeyboots Would love to have my GOG Galaxy client running on my Ubuntu box. :)
Paul0340 good news, i hope the witcher serie will come to linux to
ahora Would be fantastic. Downloading games like the Witcher series from GOG on Linux is more than a hassle without a nice GOG downloader.
cserpentis Any chance on cooperating/reusing desura's client?
likimoki where it? ((
MellowTigger It's been a few months since Galaxy released. The FAQ still doesn't mention any timeframe. Is there any word at all on progress?
