GOG previously said they planned to look closer at Linux, and that it was the next major frontier - and they're now working towards GOG Galaxy on Linux.

Obviously we have good 3rd party options for GoG on Linux/SteamOS, but it’s still really good to see official Linux support is coming.

    Thank you GoG.

    I use them on windows but recently I’ve been on Linux 95-5 percent of the time.

    Windows just kinda feels like shit and I hate the idea of GDID.

    The only remaining thing I do on my windows install is play Battlefield and Marathon. That’s it.

      I installed Cachy OS on my personal machine in February and haven’t looked back. I only booted into Windows once about a week after I made the switch, and that was just to get some passwords from my password manager. There are a few games I can’t play anymore, but I haven’t missed them. One of these days I’m going to back up any important files and wipe the Windows drive completely.

      Official support & blessing is always better and involves less toil for maintainers in reverse engineering APIs and keeping them uptodate. For example it is much better if game developers take Linux support seriously than Valve running around fixing all the dumpster fires.
