I've made the full switch to Linux just a little over a month ago and already knew GamingOnLinux beforehand, but now it is my main Go To for everything, well, about Gaming on Linux :)

Directly decided to support you via Patreon since you're doing a great job!

Happy birthday!

It's all hand-crafted spelling errors and terrible grammar here.

Lately, I keep finding myself cherishing all small human mistakes I find. Like enjoying how a vinilo slightly dirties the sound emoji

In any case, keep up the good work and all those handcrafted small errors!

News - ProtonPlus makes managing Proton versions on Linux, SteamOS and Steam Deck simple
By WMan22, 6 Jul 2025 at 4:17 am UTC

This is a great project, I just really wish Protonup-Qt had all the features and proton versions this had, not really a fan of GTK theming.

News - OpenMW 0.49 arrives to enhanced Morrowind and they're looking to support later Bethesda games
By R Daneel Olivaw, 6 Jul 2025 at 12:29 am UTC

Since MW is in my top10 of all time, it always makes me happy to see this project keep chugging along. It's like going home to your grandmothers house in the summer when I fire it up.

Pornographic and nude content should have a warning. And young kids should not have access to it. The mechanics of enforcing that are debatable, sure.

Happy birthday! Hopefully one day PayPal stops being such an unbearable chore for you and you 1) stop treating non-Patreon donators like scum and 2) stop suckling on the ad-based-revenue teat (which you swore to never do, way back when). I might be inclined to re-activate my monthly donations if that happens. emoji

Nostalgic when you look at early posts

Wait, it started as an April Fool's joke?!?!? :D

I don't think I was reading GoL regularly back then (happypenguin.org was still a thing), but in those pre-Steam days, the Humble Indie Bundles were HUGE for Linux.

Happy birthday and congrats. I have only been around the past year after getting a steam deck and check your site just about everyday. It’s been a great resource and I’ve learned a lot. Thank you.

Happy Birthday! I'm really glad I found this site, as it's been a huge help getting my desktop switched over to Linux as well as helping me tweak my Steam Deck (plus I just like the site layout and the articles are fun to read). Here's to many more!

🤣 Can relate!

This reminds me that, come July 12, it'll have been eleven years since I built my first desktop and put Linux on it. emoji Most of those original parts are still going strong! (So far only one RAM module [out of four] and the PSU have failed.)

News - GeForce NOW on Steam Deck really can be a game-changer
By Caldathras, 5 Jul 2025 at 6:16 pm UTC

I think the best explanation from that thread was ...

I am a lawyer and a huge gamer. In fact, I somewhat specialize in law that relates to video games. I see a lot of people asking why the video game company has any control with our ability to play on what is essentially a rented PC when we own the game. The problem is that this is a false premise. You are not actually buying the game. You are buying a license to use the game in certain ways and the actual owners of the property rights of the game are permitted to decide the exact ways you can use that game. It is kind of like if you purchase a ticket to enter a museum, you don't own the museum and the actual owners of the museum can tell you exactly how you can behave and where you can go once you enter.
It makes sense. This is essentially new tech and the developer's lawyers aren't ready for it yet. Still, I think this thought expressed what I was feeling about the matter even better ...

Publishers are greedy and want money on top of the sale of the game that they'd get if they supported the platform.
I think that summed it up the best for me.

That being said, it doesn't really affect me. I don't game online. I am usually offline when I can find time for a little video gaming. (No Internet at home. I have to do my O/S updates, Steam game installs and Lutris game installs at work, after hours. I have a great boss!)

Besides, there is one great big negative to using GFN -- the ongoing subscription fee! You pay it whether or not you're able to use it ...
