Fun story time!

Back when I worked at GOG (over 8 years ago) as their Linux gaming expert the company hired a highly qualified Linux engineer for the GOG Galaxy team. As far as I know the poor fellow never got to do anything Linux-related in his job. Still, he was a fun friend to talk Linux with.

There were a couple of us Linux gamers back then at GOG. Unfortunately not among the decision makers 🙂.
