13 years ago we appeared online, Happy Birthday to GamingOnLinux

By - | Views: 30,782

Can you believe it? GamingOnLinux is now officially 13 years old and that suddenly makes me feel quite old.

This time last year we were all excited about whatever the "Steampal" turned into, and wow it certainly was better than we all imagined right? The Steam Deck has been a huge boon for everything Linux gaming even pushing us up in the Steam Hardware Survey recently.

If you can donate or regularly support us, here's where you can do so: Firstly, if you wish to get specific reward tiers and access to special things sometimes you can do so on Patreon (which is the best way for us). Unlike many websites, we don't have adverts littering the screen. We do wish to remain that way, however we do have a single spot on our Patreon tiers for a single sponsor to have a small spot before comments.

All other donations, without any special rewards can be done by:

You can also buy games using our affiliate/partner links:

You can find all the links to support us on a our dedicated page any time.

As always, our inbox is open if you wish to know anything or you wish us to work on a feature to improve the site. Always happy to hear from readers and game developers. Check out our contact page on how to reach us.

Thank you to everyone who is part of the community, it's great to see so many comments every day and a big thank you to the contributors for a few articles and help moderating.

A longer than usual livestream will be going on today / tonight, so be sure to follow on Twitch!

Happy Birthday GOL (and congrats Liam)! Like for many others, GOL has been an essential site for fellow Linux gamers to socialize and keep up-to-date on developments. Here's to a healthy future!

Wow, guess this site is a teenager now. I hope this doesn't mean it's going to start smelling strongly of Lynx and erupting in spots.

Happy birthday GoL, and congratulations Liam et al!

This is great!

I'm pretty sure that I saw somewhere articles from 2009, but I can't find anything:

"Welcome to GamingOnLinux

I tied to use archive.org, but I couldn't do it:

Sorry.

Now that GoL is a teenager should we expect a lot of moodiness and rolling of eyes?
