Hello people who remember the Forum exists. I'm opening up the floor today for you to tell me what you want to see on GamingOnLinux.

Things like:

- Is there a website feature that's missing, or that you think would really improve your experience?

- Is there a type of news I'm not covering you want to see?

Let me know, I'm listening.

On the top of my wishlist is an option to toggle the partner links of stores that go through external marketing companies back to direct store links. And if this is tied to a certain support tier, I'd have no problem with it.

That one would be pretty complicated and messy tbh. Some are done via JS, some are directly done by me in the article directly.

That might be true, but as it stands, this is the biggest usability problem that the site has.

Embedded YouTube in the comments and forums? I don't know if that's too much clutter or not though.

I'm very satisfied with the what GamingOnLinux is right now, so I will only make "weak" proposition of things I'd like but are not essential.

  • Related websites, that is something I miss so much from the early web. I think of Le Bottin des Jeux Linux (maybe the english version of the website), maybe some distribution pages and some likely minded news website.

  • How to play on Linux. Maybe some people type "gaming on Linux" because they want to play on Linux and find this website and it do not teach them how to do gaming on Linux. Not sure about if it is useful or not but maybe have on the main page a "getting started with gaming on Linux" or something like that

The Mastadon feed actually provides the first point: in the form of a bluesky starter pack.

What I would like to see is more hardware reviews, or simply "how to" guides. A lot of questions I see here and on Reddit are about getting a particular peripheral to work on a Linux desktop; particularly a newer version of a peripheral that had previously been supported.

I appreciate this wouldn't be cheap to fund, but it could be very useful!

Attaching images to posts (and articles) direcly without needing to link to an external source would be nice.

Tell your favourite hardware vendors to email me ;)

Articles always have internal media, not planned for comments I'm afraid atm but will think on it.

Well, as shocking as it is to me - as I can complain about anything, really - but I have to say I consider myself very satisfied wtih GoL on the whole. I'm always looking forward to my daily Linux gaming news fix.

I guess I can only +1 the previous wish for more hardware reviews, if it could be done. It's a large undertaking though, for sure.
