The job description emphasizes:
GOG Galaxy is our desktop client and the hub of our ecosystem, the place where players manage their libraries, interact with the community, and access features that go far beyond the store. Today it runs on Windows and macOS, but Linux is the next major frontier.
The company is also looking for a specialist who will help "shape the architecture, tools, and development standards of GOG Galaxy with Linux in mind from day one." This indicates that Linux support is being considered not as an experiment, but as a full-fledged development direction.
The information sparked a positive reaction among Linux gamers and attracted the attention of users dissatisfied with the state of Windows 11 and the active implementation of AI into the system. Previously, GOG representatives have already spoken about the importance of Linux gaming and criticized the current state of Windows 11.
Against the backdrop of Proton improvements, increasing game compatibility, and the development of SteamOS, interest in Linux as a gaming platform continues to grow.
