Hello Supporters!

Thank you again for continuing your support, what a year it's been so far! So much happening all time and I continue to be here to follow it all and report on it.

Some plans for September:

• The return of the News Punch Podcast now the summer holidays are over
• Expanding the dedicated crowdfunding page, there's around 50-100 more to add in I have in a list at the moment
• Pestering (nicely) Valve to actually answer my interview questions about Steam Play/Proton
• Ongoing back-end work to ensure GOL (the website) continues to run smoothly, upgrading various software and hardware that it runs on.
• Add the ability for users to change their usernames on GOL.
• Add some actual styling to the daily article overview email. Came up against a bit of a wall there, with no email client picking up the styling so I've been trying to figure out why on that.
• Hopefully another interview/catch up with Bearded Giant Games about how sales of their latest game Space Mercs went now it has been out for well over a month
• Plus lots of articles (obviously!)

More work on our upcoming and long delayed Linux Gaming Timeline page. This one needs some more thinking on, plus I need your feedback. I'm torn between a page that lists everything or one that loads in more with JavaScript as you scroll. Part of the problem is that it might get pretty darn long, what are your thoughts?

Additionally, we're going to do a small style change to links inside articles on GOL soon to make them a bit easier to spot. Came up against [a bug](https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor-dev/issues/3389) in the editor we use (CKEditor) which is preventing adding a class style to links at the moment, so have to wait for it to be fixed. The developers have confirmed my issue and two bugs that cause it, so hopefully it can be solved sometime soon.

If you didn't already know we also have a [Twitch Channel](https://www.twitch.tv/gamingonlinux), where Sin dedicates her time to showing off Linux gaming multiple times a week. Something I've actually noticed, is that we've seen a good number of people try out Linux and come back to chat about it after watching Sin livestream how easy it is and how things work. So livestreaming regularly is actually surprisingly helpful to the wider community and how Linux looks to an entirely different audience.

As always, the inbox is always open. If you want to have a chat or if something has been missed, email direct at [email protected].

Ps. I was also a guest on the Linux For Everyone podcast again recently for [episode 6](https://linuxforeveryone.fireside.fm/6-linux-laptops-gnome-boxes-backup-retroarch).
