GOG is developing native Linux support for its Galaxy desktop client, while a recent experiment saw AI agents build a new C compiler, according to reports from multiple sources. The news comes as one writer shared a negative experience returning to Linux, highlighting the challenges users can face.
GOG, the digital distribution platform, is working on bringing its Galaxy desktop client to Linux, as confirmed by a recent job listing and a Reddit AMA, according to The Verge. While an official release date has not been announced, the company is actively working on the project. This development signals a move to expand the platform's reach to Linux users.
Meanwhile, Anthropic researchers deployed 16 instances of the Claude Opus 4.6 AI model to create a C compiler from scratch, as reported by Ars Technica. The project, which took two weeks and nearly 2,000 Claude Code sessions, cost approximately $20,000 in API fees. The AI agents reportedly produced a 10.
In a separate report, The Verge's Terrence O'Brien detailed his recent experience returning to Linux. O'Brien, who had previously used Linux, found the operating system, specifically Ubuntu on an older Dell XPS 15, riddled with errors. He ultimately abandoned the system in favor of another solution, highlighting the potential challenges users can encounter. "Even when it wasn't failing quietly, Ubuntu was throwing truly useless errors," O'Brien wrote.
The developments come amid other tech news, including the launch of a new Claude connector for WordPress, allowing users to share site data with Anthropic's chatbot for analysis.
