Rethinking it. Nothing is changing now.

Going through a very small rebrand over the next couple weeks into the new year (it will take time to adjust everything properly). Too many people keep thinking GOL is a company, and expect me to act like someone in a suit, when it's 99% just me sharing cool stuff and creating (hopefully) cool / interesting content along with opinions on various things.

What actually changes: not a lot, it's just a name and some wording clarifications.

It will also help whenever I cover something that isn't super specific to "Linux Gaming", because I grew tired very quickly of people who had a stance of if it's not ticking a very specific box, that it doesn't belong on GOL. I want to keep on covering hardware, open source, Linux gaming, Steam Deck and all the stuff in between. So if anything, it will just help me keep doing what I am already doing.

Any chance of a sneak-preview?

Seriously, though, I'm curious now - I'm surprised that people have been mistaking GOL for a corporate entity!

But by not being a corporation hes missing out on all fun corporate stuff...... Think of all the "Synergy" he could be having.......

Unless I'm mistaken, we can already see it. Basically just `s/Gaming On Linux/GOL/`.

No big design changes, just fully leaning into "GOL" instead of "GamingOnLinux". It's a small change overall.

Good to know - for a moment I wasn't sure if we were looking at a URL-change or something. I still don't get how people thought you were a company, though!

An URL change will come eventually, but that's last on the list and gamingonlinux.com will stick around for many years to auto link to it so no one will get lost.

Nothing is 100% for sure though, I'm just messing with things atm.

Just saw the new name on YouTube - quite like that one.

I am sadly stuck with that for 14 days, at least I could revert the @ handle on youtube though lol nevermind.

Someone stole Twitter though, so that's the only real thing that's changed so we're here now: https://twitter.com/GOLTwit
