GOG is developing native Linux support for its Galaxy desktop client, according to a recent announcement, while AI continues to make strides in software development, including the creation of a new C compiler by Anthropic's AI agents. These developments come amidst ongoing discussions about the usability of Linux and the increasing integration of AI in various platforms.
GOG, the digital distribution platform, is working on bringing its Galaxy desktop client to Linux, as revealed in a Reddit AMA. The company recently posted a job listing for a senior software engineer to focus on this porting effort. While an exact release date remains unknown, the GOG team confirmed that native Linux support is "already underway," according to The Verge.
In related news, Anthropic researchers utilized sixteen instances of the company's Claude Opus 4.6 AI model to create a new C compiler. Over a two-week period, the AI agents worked on a shared codebase, generating the compiler with minimal human supervision. This project involved nearly 2,000 Claude Code sessions and cost approximately $20,000 in API fees, according to Ars Technica.
The push towards AI agents continues, with both Anthropic and OpenAI releasing multi-agent tools. This development highlights the growing role of AI in software development, as demonstrated by Anthropic's experiment.
Meanwhile, discussions about the user experience of Linux continue. In a separate article, The Verge's Terrence O'Brien shared his experience of returning to Linux, calling it "a mistake." He noted that even when the operating system wasn't failing, it was throwing "truly useless errors."
In other tech news, WordPress launched a new Claude connector, allowing users to share site data with Anthropic's chatbot for analysis and insights. This connector initially provides read-only access, with potential for future write access for editorial tasks, according to Hacker News. The same source also noted concerns about Microsoft's cloud integration, citing issues with accessing basic applications due to licensing errors.
