The Desura gaming client now has an open source brother, called Desurium and hosted on Github, licensed under GPL (GNU Public License) version 3.

Detailed instructions about how to install and run the open source version of the Desura client on both Linux and Windows platform are also available on the Github page.

"As i'm the only one working on Desura client due to a number of reasons I was looking into open sourcing the client aspect of Desura it self to allow the community to help out implement features and bug fixes faster and contribute this back into the client to benefit all users." - said the Desurium developer.

Desura client for Linux was announced at the end of last year, providing 65 game titles installable with a single mouse click.

The Desura client for Linux allows gamers around the world to easily install, patch and play games on all Linux operating systems.
