First up is Ubuntu and Mint being supported, and they’re ”testing games on a variety of configurations” with 100 Linux games ready by this fall. They can’t name games yet.
It’s still in its infancy and so even the GOG.com teams aren’t entirely sure what titles will make it into the fall launch. Some will be titles already built for Linux.
”We’re initially going to be launching our Linux support on GOG.com with the full GOG.com treatment for Ubuntu and Mint. That means that right now, we’re hammering away at testing games on a variety of configurations, training up our teams on Linux-speak, and generally getting geared up for a big kick-off in the fall with at least 100 Linux games ready for you to play. This is, of course, going to include games that we sell which already have Linux clients, but we’ll also be bringing Linux gamers a variety of classics that are, for the first time, officially supported and maintained by a storefront like ours.”
