Introducing MacOS, Linux Support, and general software updates

Introducing MacOS, Linux Support, and general software updates

Since we first started shipping Glydr back in September to our Kickstarter backers and opened sales and shipping to the public in November, our team has worked tirelessly to update and innovate the software experience around Glydr. Over the last few months, we have added multiple features, optimizations, and bug fixes to the Glydr Control Panel. A large majority of the additional features we’ve added have come from user submissions to our Discord server.  With this post we would like to more formally announce and spread awareness of the release of both MacOS and Linux support. We’re excited to get more users into these and begin adjusting and updating them with new features alongside our Windows variant. 

With gaming being an everchanging landscape, we are committed to continually adding support for more users with updates and expanding compatibility for Glydr. Adding support for MacOS and Linux sets our plans for further expansion into motion. While the control panel on these platforms is young, we encourage users to notify us of any feature suggestions or issues they may have via our Discord or through our support email (support@glydr.gg).
