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 ;)
sumbinge yaasss i've wanted galaxy on linux since i first started buying games from gog plsss
mia75 Please linux support would be awesome
katonajanos Steam Deck support is needed! Please!
gallenci Yesss i want that
gregorycho Even better would be an integration of Steam and GOG library. Just in case like in the recent discovery one of the quests from The Witcher 3 led to Cyberpunk 2077. Having games from one creator splitted between many retail agents is non-optimal solution if for example creating a video multiverse is coming...
gregorycho I forgot to add, it works on Debian 12 (Linux) :P
gregorycho GOG Galaxy works. I just bought Cyberpunk 2077 and added it via Steam Add Non-Steam Game to my library. It works.
Ghostredneck Why on earth is the launcher not compatible with proton. Need it for GOG library on Steam deck.
BarfingRainbowzs GOG galaxy + Proton for Linux and i will buy something.
Malix_off The amount of money I will spend on GOG if you release a Linux version will single handedly cover the development cost, just release it
pizdOSFversion Yes
Strogg_Commando YES PLEASE!!! i would love to use it.
ShizuoSan up
MintyM I still hope that one day we'll get this
sww725 In order to support the many distros of linux, you should offer a flatpak or snap version of galaxy.
SerpentesCHC Linux :)
D_MonT We’re ready
CorMilten Linux users want GOG badly!
Damjes save sync keeps me on steam, i would love to move to gog
oliverskywalker GOG is one of the best things for games in recent times, please, you need to pay more attention to the Linux world, you can't depend on a platform like Windows, if you really want games to live forever, you need to have all the support on Linux, as long as there is a single person in the Linux community, some distribution will be running, and games will always have a home.
ainumortis I Vote for this, but for all Linuxers, try Heroic is awesome, and work with steamdeck
V4V Let's be honest, Galaxy is a bad piece of software compared to other store or community launchers. I only use it for the occasional multiplayer DRM that needs it, but I'd prefer a native client to the current WINE shenanigans nonetheless.
xglacius I play on a Steam Deck and I want this badly. Until then it makes no sense to me to buy any game on GOG, I'll buy them on Steam.
SpaceCheeseWizard There is always the Heroic Launcher for those who want a launcher on the linux platform. It still would be nice to see better linux support from GOG.
enic94 Had to repurchase some games on steam. Sadly, as long as there's no linux support I won't be back here until there is.
sunwebrw_0941 Long a go i've bought a game that had Linux version on GOG but since there was no client i had no save files. Sure i could save those but back then i didn't think about it. And on Steam it just works. I can easily transfer to another PC and have ALL of my save files just need to download the game again.
Gagos95 Yes, I have to buy everything on Steam because of that. It's a shame GOG isn't trying.
lkopari GOG on Steam Deck would be goated
fhireman I kind of assumed GOG had this already seeing they have quite some games with Linux support, weird that there isn't one yet

dinhokusanagi GoG could make a launcher together with the community, but they prefer to be limited, I never buy a game from GoG and I made this account today just to comment here, GOG doesn't make an effort to have more customers, I won't be the one going after it , if she wants my money she will have to work hard for it, otherwise there will always be other ways for me. GoG and Riot are among the worst in the gaming market.
Barbarius1 I've actually gone back to using Steam because GOG refuses to do this...
It's just... easier.

hobeur2 I won't use steam because I don't like the DRM, but I launch I windows less and less. I linux client, with an old black and white UI / manual update / "run at your own risk" games would still be perfect for me
TotallyTom DEW IT
VodySly_5 I got you boys, open lutris, click the plus, search lutris site for installers, search for gog galaxy and install it, there you go
gruel GOG galaxy has been developped with .Net/C# at the time where this techno were windows only. This was a strategically bad decision and the changes from the version used are probably huge. So a port to linux means a complete rewrite I am suspecting. There are alternative software to do it like heroic games or lutris.
romulasry52_9116 Linux would be nice +2 for open source as well.
ChZerk 37k people wanting a linux client and... crickets so far.
Graveuypo I'm trying to move away from everything DRM and proprietary. I've ditched windows last year, and i'd love to ditch steam whenever i can in favor of gog, but i need a linux client to do so.
kosmonavta Bota pra torar no Linux caraio.
Garrus001 GOG needs to build a Linux Desktop app. Hopefully it runs regardless of your Linux distro.
Toberic +1 --> Linux gaming is not the future...it's the present!
valentinhan GOG направете подръжка за Linix игри не ме караите да ставам клиент на Steam.
JohnnyGamer I've been using Linux to play games for 3 years now and I actually prefer to buy my games from Steam again because I know they run there and the client doesn't cause any problems.

Tute84 Linux gamer here. I buy the majority of my games on Steam as there's an official, supported client with complete Proton integration and an effort made to develop support and encourage adoption.
Why GoG, a company that prides itself on being DRM free and putting it's users first, can't support Linux and Proton absolutely baffles me and drives my money into Valve's hands.
NREGG If steam which has DRM, goes out of their way to support linux, than surely GOG a platform which advocates for owning your games, can allow you to use linux, the OS you own.
NightK As a steamDeck user, also make bring it officially to the SteamDeck Discover software center.
One of the things that is making me choose Steam Releases over Gog ones, is the convenience of having them on Steam, which makes it easy to download and run on the steam deck.
Try to partner with Steam for integration with their proton.

Lutris and Heroic are okay as an alternative, as is Minigalaxy for native linux games, but it having a native Galaxy would be preferred; better for managing updates, accessing extras, backing up saves, etc.
