GOG is actively developing native Linux support for its Galaxy desktop client, signaling a growing commitment to the platform, according to multiple reports. While a specific release date remains unavailable, the move reflects the rising importance of Linux in the PC gaming landscape. Simultaneously, a television series based on the popular Baldur's Gate game series is in development, helmed by Craig Mazin, known for his work on "The Last of Us" adaptation and "Chernobyl."
The news of GOG's Linux support originated from a job listing for a senior software engineer focused on porting the Galaxy client. Subsequently, the GOG team confirmed the ongoing development in a Reddit AMA thread, though they were unable to provide an estimated time of arrival (ETA). This information was reported by The Verge.
The Baldur's Gate TV series will continue the storyline of the game series, which has seen massive success, selling over 20 million copies. However, the original developers, Larian Studios, will not be directly involved in the adaptation, a detail that has raised some concerns among fans, according to the BBC.
The Verge's weekend editor, Terrence O'Brien, also recently shared his experience with Linux, noting that he "went back to Linux and it was a mistake," highlighting the challenges he faced with the operating system. This provides context to the current state of Linux and its place in the tech world.
