GOG is actively developing native Linux support for its Galaxy desktop client, according to a recent announcement, while Anthropic's AI model, Claude Opus 4.6, built a C compiler from scratch. These developments, along with other tech news, highlight the dynamic nature of the tech industry.
GOG, the digital distribution platform, revealed its plans for Linux support following a job listing for a senior software engineer focused on porting the Galaxy client. In response to a Reddit AMA, the GOG team confirmed that work on native Linux support was underway, though an estimated time of arrival was not yet available. Terrence O'Brien, the Verge's weekend editor, noted the announcement.
Meanwhile, Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.6 AI model achieved a significant feat. Sixteen instances of the AI model were tasked with building a C compiler from scratch. Over two weeks and nearly 2,000 Claude Code sessions, costing approximately $20,000 in API fees, the AI agents produced a compiler. Ars Technica reported on the experiment.
In other tech news, the climbing simulator "Cairn" focuses on realistic gameplay, and WordPress has integrated a Claude connector for data analysis. Additionally, the "Baldur's Gate" video game series is being adapted into a TV show by Craig Mazin.
The news comes as Terrence O'Brien shared his experience returning to Linux, which he described as "a mistake" in a separate article. He noted the challenges he faced, including errors from Ubuntu.
