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.
All other donations, without any special rewards can be done by:
- Paypal Donation or Monthly donation/sub: Supporter - Supporter Plus
- Become a YouTube Member.
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.
Another year :-)
Quoting: PhlebiacI 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? ;-DIt's been going on for a while. I still think that it's a great touch.
i discovered Linux in 2011 and GOL in 2019, but i fully switched to Linux in 2020.
and also through GOL, i discovered hundreds of great Linux games, Steam Deck verified games and hidden gems for Linux/Steam Deck, that i probably had never discovered on other gaming sites.
Thank you so much for that :D
Quoting: kaimanI also noticed that Liberapay is conspicuously absent from the support options? What's up with that?Been quite a while since that went away.
QuoteSorry but we're no longer using Liberapay as it has been a nuisance to use overall.

Im relatively new to this site (came here with the launch of the Steam Deck).
14 years is quite impressive, especially considering the topic´s reality back then. You´ve really been ahead of the curve. Thanks for all the years of dedication and work!
