GNU/Linux gamers are always decrying GOG, saying they won't buy stuff from them because Galaxy doesn't run on GNU/Linux, now we're getting people saying GOG porting Galaxy to GNU/Linux is bad!? By Taranis, GOG just can't get a break, can they?

Yep, luckily they represent a very small, albeit loud, minority of Linux users.

The vast majority of Linux users are very happy to get an official GOG Galaxy for Linux. I hope they will plug into Proton and collaborate with Valve, but we really need official tools and brands on Linux for common users to feel comfortable enough to come over.

How is GNU/Linux different from Linux?

It is the same thing, just emphasizing that the OS is more than the kernel, and than the userland comes from the GNU project.

The latter had been designed to be a full OS but didn't have a functional kernel when Linux was released, and Torvalds adopted the GNU userland for his project.

		Linux is both the name for the kernel and the full operating system.

GOG needs to contribute 0-day fixes to the kernel, otherwise they’re not committed to Linux /s
