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 ?)
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
hexdsl + over 9000
egladil86 ++
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?

bassmanlundy I was pretty sure I read somewhere that there working on the Linux and Mac versions, but just wanted to launch the Windows one first incase of problems as it is in Beta at the moment and we have to remember that.
4aiman Absolutely need Linux client. <br /> Also, both Linux and Windows clients should support downoading a game for another OS: Linux from Windows and vice versa.
lahtis +1 Linux GOG client
Insperatus I'd be much more inclined to purchase from gog if there was a client like this which could keep track of my library and update all my games automatically.
jason0816 Ermm... illness caused me to munge wording. We can do our own manual downloads, then use POL to install GOG games. This beats steam as steam doesn't allow for a manual download. <br />
jason0816 Steam does it on Linux. So GOG Galaxy can too. I'm not saying it's trivial. But there are options. For pause and resume, if a webservice is used, then GOG has full control over auth and precisely how data gets transmitted. Of course one can always piggy-back off of the current web-download mechanism. If the webserver supports range requests, as per the HTTP/S spec, then by golly that can be used too, AND it can be client independent! (e.g. Firefox or chrome, regardless of OS could resume the download.) Of course limiting attempted installs to software supported on the executing OS is really really nice, actually, essential for a GUI launcher like this. And this, beats Steam because we can then do our own customized wine/POL instances for each windows game we want to try to run on Linux and puts 0% burden for this special configuration on GOG. . . So yeah, GOG can do it, and do it better. It's not a walk in the park, but please give it a real go!
akuda2 No Linux, no deal.
Mirppc i agree. The client or GoG Galaxy would be nice in linux.
StevyB I would like to have a Linux downloader with CLI AND GUI as well. Nonetheless there are some projects for it, see: <a href="http://www.gogwiki.com/wiki/Download_Clients" class="light_un" target="_blank"><br /> http://www.gogwiki.com/wiki/Download_Clients</a>
notsofastmyboy I'd already be happy with simple BASH or Python scripts to at least download the game itself and all of the goodies in a more convenient way.
Steiner_Ofw Please make a Installer for Linux Mint and Ubuntu.
0Grapher I think in a Twitch stream they said that they were going to fullfill this wish. <br /> I'm a bit surprised that they didn't mark this wiish as "in progress".
MellowTigger So what happened to GOG Galaxy? And its Linux version? (Since apparently it's supposed to become the official downloader + other cool services.)
bluebottle.673 The real problem is that we can't resume downloads with any confidence in the integrity of the resulting file. I can't see any reason why GOG couldn't offer an Rsync server (over SSH, obviously), authenticated with the same details as the website, that would let us download with checksumming and resuming. Even patches (i.e. small changes to large files) could work better this way, although the compression would likely stop that from being effective.
isaacrg lgogdownloader is very good -- Most notably, the download speed is miles faster than Steam, though, it would be nice if GOG made an official one. Maybe if they setup a github project, people could contribute.
edoantonioco lgogdownloader looks very good.
coffeecup I do know that, but lgogdownloader has to play every time catch up ... <br />
shmerl @coffeecup: For that you already can use the open source lgogdownloader.
