GOG is developing native support for Linux.

GOG announced work on native Linux support

Recently the digital distribution service GOG posted a senior engineer‑programmer vacancy with the task of porting its Galaxy desktop client to Linux. In response to user questions on Reddit, company representatives confirmed that work on implementing native Linux support is indeed underway.

What official spokespeople say
- Timeline: “Talking about specific dates now would be too early,” said GOG co‑founder and CEO Michal Kicinski.

- Company vision: Kicinski emphasized that he is a big fan of Linux. He noted that the current vacancy relates to the “next major milestone” in gaming, as the platform is becoming an increasingly important part of the computer games ecosystem.

- Market context: The article mentions that Microsoft continues to load Windows with AI‑based features some users consider unnecessary. This makes Linux especially attractive for those looking for an alternative.

How the process looks
> “We’re at an early stage of the project, but we see growing popularity and value of this OS among gamers,” added Kicinski.

> “We’ve started recruiting a senior engineer who will help implement the task. We can’t disclose specific details yet, but work has already begun, and eventually it will appear in GOG” – clarified an unnamed source.

Thus, GOG is actively developing Linux support for its Galaxy client software, and the search for a suitable specialist continues. It is expected that users will soon receive a full native client on this platform.
