The developer has plans to extend Minigalaxy, for updating games and actually remove games once installed. The key point here about Minigalaxy is that it's streamlined. You could use Lutris, but Lutris does a lot and can be confusing.

So it's good to see someone else come along to try and smoothen-out the process of getting GOG games on Linux (other than downloading from GOG directly). Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions. They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. Depending on the title, players can select individual versions to install. Some games have updates supported, while some do not.

GOG GALAXY APP INSTALL
It's comparable to Games Nebula, another open source GOG client for Linux although that hasn't seen a released since June 2018, sadly. Enable snaps on Arch Linux and install GOG Galaxy. GOG Galaxy is a digital platform created by CD Projekt, designed for use with games purchased through GOG.com, although not every game is able to be downloaded and installed using the client. A little rough around the edges, but once this gets further along it could be a nice little GOG client for Linux users. You can pick your language, adjust install location, search and a bit more. It's being developed by Wouter "sharkwouter" Wijsman who also works on VaporOS, a special build of SteamOS with a ton of extra enhancements.Ĭurrently quite simple, it allows you to login and access your entire GOG library to download and play. Find getting your Linux games from GOG a bit of a hassle since they don't support Galaxy on Linux yet? Enter the free and open source application Minigalaxy.
