With the Steam Deck upcoming, what do we think the chances are that Valve will reveal a new game to go along side it?

Guess what? We're back again! The dynamic duo returns for another casual and frank chat about Linux and Linux Gaming topics across many different areas in the industry.

Valve have again updated the incredible first-person puzzler Portal 2, this time the update is quite small (comparatively to the Vulkan update) but still mighty.

After a short Beta period that saw a few issues, the team behind Portal Stories: Mel have now release the latest stable build which includes Vulkan support for Linux.

We're back, we're early this time! As usual, it's a very casual and frank chat between two friends (myself - Liam) and GOL contributor / Linux livestreamer Samsai about many different Linux-related topics.

Portal Stories: Mel, an extremely popular and highly rated mod for Portal 2 just had a new Beta pushed out which adds in Vulkan support for Linux.

With the continuous stream of new releases, it’s sometimes hard to remember that there's still plenty of excuses to fire up games you already own. User-made modifications are one of the best things about being a PC gamer and so I’ve taken the time to make a very biased list of games that have great mods.

Another week has passed and it's time for our weekly livestream with games and generally mediocre commentary. So clear up your schedule, hide your kids and hide your wives (or husbands, we are inclusive here) and come join us for some Linux gaming fun.

A free standalone(-ish, I'll talk about that a bit later) Portal 2 mod called Portal Stories: Mel has been released on Steam. So those who want more Portal can get it in the form of 22 levels and approx. 6-10 hours of gameplay.
