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 ;)

ToytonSan Hello, I very very very much would love to have the native Linux launcher of GOG on my Steam Deck. I spent years building up my collection in your shop and love your approach to the games world. I would ALWAYS give priority to your shop but I noticed that Heroic Launcher just makes things too fragile and neither I have proper Cloud Saves etc.. I guess you know the problems.. It would be amazing to just have access to my whole GOG library on the Deck.. Thanks for hearing us out ..

Atomic182 Adding to this one. Wine, Proton, DXVK and bunch of other excellent piece of sw made gaming on linux possible. Now I would like to keep my games updated via GoG Galaxy, but that's currently not possible. <br /> <br /> I don't want to buy games on steam when I don't have to.
simgre Please make this, given how great wine and proton work it's just implementing it into the client nowadays
Panthros I love purchasing games from GOG. I just bought a Valve Steam Deck and would love GOG Galaxy native Linux support. Please and thank you. Your customers want to support you, please support us.
niohoggr Great Gods man, release it for linux as well. I can't even get my rewards properly for preordering.
Avald I wish that gog games like Cyberpunk were transferable to steam, as then I would get automatic Proton support and be able to run it on my machine.
karloff10 i regret to buy cyberpunk from gog and not from steam
CiphertheGreat Feed the penguins!
jointer1 +1 definitely
NOROC_ Recently switched from WIn10 to Linux(EndeavourOS), please make it work as seamless as steam.
llunull I recently moved to Linux Mint assuming a company as cool as GOG would have this done already but I'm bummed it's not! :( Would love to launch GOG Galaxy from my desktop and not in virtual box!
CyberK1tsu Please GOG ! Do it !
R79 How is this still not a thing given that Lutris makes it so freaking easy... <br /> <br /> CDPR Whyyy
simonsez514 We are not a big piece of the pie right now, but a lot of people won't be touching Win11 with an eleven foot pole.
simonsez514 I signed up just to comment and bump the post. <br /> It'd be really worth it to have things up to speed before Win10 goes EOL.
Po11da Eh, another month in a row of Linux being more popular than Mac on Steam and still nothing about Galaxy… thank the community for Heroic.
Rito_Po I´m just leaving a coment because I can´t vote for this more than once
sziho pretty please
ToytonSan Agree!! Please Please Please!!!

quickkennedy linux please!
The_Hat_Master With how much people are starting to hop to linux as well as the convenience and emphasis that is being placed on GOG Galaxy, it's strange this isn't already a thing.
CorgiLakeHouse I feel like this is a big missed opportunity for GOG. <br /> I personally started to use GOG after I purchased a Steam Deck and realized how big of an inconvenience DRMs were for a device that was not supposed to be online all the time. <br /> But the unfortunate truth is that right now it is quite a pain to have GOG Galaxy to run on proton. <br /> I do not say that GOG should cather to a competitor environment, but it could totally capitalize on those users (like me) that are getting to know the store due to the new handheld PCs trend, as windows handheld mode is not a thing yet and probably won't be for quite some time still.
paleblue. Any ETA? We need that.
Heavydeck To clarify. Purchasing Cyberpunk 2077 **A second time** just because it is convenient on Steamdeck / Linux
Heavydeck I am considering purchasing Cyberpunk 2077 on Steam just because the process of making it work on linux using steam is... 1 click. Meanwhile, massaging GOG galaxy to _launch_ on linux (through steam, oddly enough) is a PAIN. <br /> <br />
DeftDawg I have around 170 games on GoG, since I can't play them in multiplayer or use cloud saves on my Linux Desktop or my Steam Deck, I'm no longer buying games from GoG... I'd rather buy them on GoG, but GoG's basically anti-Linux now, so I give up... my money will go to Steam until this situation changes.
Gamecubert1 To Clarify many Linux users who use steam would probably use GOG on principle if not for proton.
Gamecubert1 Linux support would allow you to make steam deck competitor machines if you had the desire in the future, just saying. You would be the only company that could grab Linux users harder than steam. We care about digital freedom and ownership which DRM free games provide. You would be the holy grail of gaming. Also you already have a big share of overlap between digital ownership with Linux and DRM free games, why not capitalize on that market.
LuckyHeron Lack of market share shouldn't exclude people. Seriously I bought a game through here because I don't want to keep being tied to Steam DRM, only to realize that I can't play multiplayer natively as games rely on GOG Galaxy. Just because a group is a minority doesn't mean it shouldn't be accommodated to reasonably. Hell, why not just find a way for third party clients to be able to access multiplayer function then?
funnyonion It would be nice to see a dedicated Linux client, however, given that Linux makes up a tiny amount of gaming rigs and what it does have is mostly through the Steam Deck, I would say this is low priority. <br /> <br /> There is already a perfectly good third party client for GOG (Heroic & Lutris), I don't see any gain for a first party GOG client on Linux.
funnyonion @zalligar "Steam's Proton", there is, it's called WINE, which is what makes up about 99% of Proton. <br /> <br /> @Corlandith "M$" hahaha I used to say that back in my anti-establishment youth, you guys still rocking it huh? Does the open letter still pop-up in conversation too?
underscore01 Sadly this is one of the reasons i hesitate to buy games on GoG and just opt for buying them on steam even though I would prefer to have them DRM-free on GoG. <br /> This got brought back up in my memory cause I am deciding where to buy Baldur's Gate 3 right now, It's hard to choose GoG when I cannot play my games online due to the lack of a native GoG client with wine/proton support built in. I hope this changes so that it'll make GoG a much more viable choice for linux users over steam.
pwicherski 34K likes and still nothing... really?
C0UNTM31N Remember when this post was marked as "In Progress", what a fucking joke that was
Corlandith As I prepare to shut down my last Windows PC here becasue M$ is becoming unbearable, I wanted to look for a way to get my games still.. <br /> GOG! Get with the times guys, if the jerks at Valve can do it I know you can.. Please do not make me use Steam?

machinelife This is the only reason I buy linux-compatible games on steam instead of gog.
Ch3m1cal JUST DO IT !!!
jordaneagle220 no linux support in 2023, sad
zalligar I was hoping GOG had something like Steam's Proton but turns out there isn't even a GOG version for Linux lol. C'mon guys
TWB0109 I see this discussion keeps going. I'll comment so you guys know you have a huge market-share on Linux. Don't give up on us. <br /> <br /> Hopefully, a Linux version will be released soon
obelisk79 hands down want gog galaxy on linux
