GOG is actively developing native Linux support for its Galaxy client, signaling a growing recognition of Linux's importance in the PC gaming landscape, according to multiple reports. While a specific release date remains unavailable, the move indicates GOG's commitment to expanding its platform's reach.
The news of native Linux support comes after GOG posted a job listing for a senior software engineer focused on porting the Galaxy desktop client to Linux, according to The Verge. In response to a Reddit AMA, the GOG team confirmed that work on the project was already underway. The Verge's weekend editor, Terrence O'Brien, noted that it was "too early to give an ETA," according to the Reddit thread.
This development aligns with the increasing significance of Linux in the gaming world, as highlighted by various sources. The move by GOG reflects a broader trend of companies recognizing the platform's potential.
In related news, a Baldur's Gate TV series is also in development by Craig Mazin, expanding the game's narrative. However, the original game developers are not directly involved in the project, which has sparked some fan concerns, according to multiple reports.
