Going through a very small rebrand over the next couple weeks into the new year (it will take time to adjust everything properly). Too many people keep thinking GOL is a company, and expect me to act like someone in a suit, when it's 99% just me sharing cool stuff and creating (hopefully) cool / interesting content along with opinions on various things.
What actually changes: not a lot, it's just a name and some wording clarifications.
It will also help whenever I cover something that isn't super specific to "Linux Gaming", because I grew tired very quickly of people who had a stance of if it's not ticking a very specific box, that it doesn't belong on GOL. I want to keep on covering hardware, open source, Linux gaming, Steam Deck and all the stuff in between. So if anything, it will just help me keep doing what I am already doing.

Seriously, though, I'm curious now - I'm surprised that people have been mistaking GOL for a corporate entity!
Unless I'm mistaken, we can already see it. Basically just `s/Gaming On Linux/GOL/`.
Ahh! I missed that before! Thanks.
Good to know - for a moment I wasn't sure if we were looking at a URL-change or something. I still don't get how people thought you were a company, though!

Someone stole Twitter though, so that's the only real thing that's changed so we're here now: https://twitter.com/GOLTwit

It's a cool handle that gives a good chuckle!
For those who don't get the new handles sense of humour:

I have to admit that I mostly skip the articles about non-Linux games and the Deck and whatnot, but I don't mind you covering whatever you feel like you want to cover. There will always be people telling you to cater to their specific interests instead, no matter the branding or anything else. Sadly that's just inevitable. And you're still playing your games on Linux in one form or another, so the current brand is fine in my opinion.
Now, if the title was "Linux Games" or similar, that'd be different.
One possible solution would be to split some of the non-Linux content onto a "sister" site with different branding, but that would also split your community and add to your workload... I suppose complainers will just have to learn to cope.
My promise to all readers is that Linux is 100% the focus, always will be. All forms of gaming on it.

Well, that's the new regime in town. Sorry for your username/handle loss. Plus, I cannot stand with countless of shady/fraudulent "digital store of value instruments" advertisement/promotion.
Glad that I never have an account with that social media.
