GOG Galaxy job ad calls Linux 'the next major frontier' — PC Gamer notes AI plans

PC Gamer reports a recent GOG Galaxy senior software engineer job posting that states "Linux is the next major frontier" for the client.

The posting says the company is looking for "a Senior Engineer who will help shape GOG Galaxy's architecture, tooling, and development standards with Linux in mind from day one," and notes the product is "a long-lived product with a large and complex C++ codebase."

That phrasing suggests GOG wants to add Linux support without breaking the existing macOS and Windows user base, a constraint the posting explicitly raises.

PC Gamer also recalls a conversation a few weeks earlier with GOG managing director Maciej Gołębiewski and owner Michał Kiciński, in which the pair expressed interest in Linux but declined to make concrete commitments at the time. The outlet notes GOG has had a chequered history with Linux support—mentioning a previously planned Galaxy 1.0 Linux client that was later dropped when Galaxy 2.0 launched.

GOG declined to comment when asked, and PC Gamer says it remains to be seen whether the company will follow through on Linux support and any plans around AI-assisted development tools mentioned by the outlet.
