You may have noticed the website acting up a little lately, well that's because it's well into its teens now. Happy Birthday to GamingOnLinux, the tiny little site I thought no one would visit but here we are 14 years later. Now we see around a million visitors a month, and I still can't quite believe it.

From the early days of Loki and Linux Game Publishing to the launches of the Humble Indie Bundle, Steam for Linux, Proton and the Steam Deck — never a dull moment huh? A big big thank you to everyone who has supported all of this over the years.

Want to help support the GamingOnLinux mission?

You can give your regular support over on  Patreon (which is the best way for me overall). This helps ensure there's not adverts everywhere. Although there is a single spot for a sponsor but it's not really used.

You can also buy games using GamingOnLinux affiliate / partner links:

You can find all the links to support GamingOnLinux on this dedicated page any time.

Who knows what the industry will look like in another 14 years. Will we have some sort of chip in our brains? Will Valve count to three finally? How about a new living room Steam Machine? Perhaps we will be on the Steam Deck 5 by then and everyone will be running Linux on their desktop. One can dream right?

Remember you can easily use the RSS Feed to keep up to date. All article tags (at the bottom of articles) also have an RSS feed so you can follow exactly what you want.

Thanks again for being here.

I am the owner of GamingOnLinux. After discovering Linux back in the days of Mandrake in 2003, I constantly came back to check on the progress of Linux until Ubuntu appeared on the scene and it helped me to really love it. You can reach me easily by emailing GamingOnLinux directly.

Happy Birthday. I had to be dragged here kicking and screaming, but now I visit almost every day! Though I must say I do miss linuxgames.com and happypenguin.org. Though I guess when they are gone and gamingonlinux is not, you've done everything right! Great job!

I also noticed that Liberapay is conspicuously absent from the support options? What's up with that?

Too obvious. And not round enough. But next year... :)

I just noticed the mascot in the top banner changes what is being held beneath the flipper; different controllers show up, including a Steam Deck playing what looks like a Star Wars game. Is that new, or have I just been blind? ;-D

Happy Birthday, GOL! :)

I think in 14 years, Linux will do some amazing things. Maybe....like...conquering the smartphone market, powering supercomputers, or running the world-leading PC-gaming handheld!

Oh...wait...nevermind! :D
