Quoting: robvvWhat 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.

We could always submit articles when we get a new piece of hardware.

Personally, I'd like to see a little bit more news on open source games and open source game development tools. Things about game libraries like pygame or other toolkits. I was surprised GOL didn't cover the Godot controversy, I don't care about the politics or drama or whatever, but Redot actually has some cool ideas and should get at least a little bit of a spotlight. It's another open source Game Engine that seems to have some promise.
I cover as much open source as happens that's somewhat related to gaming. If I miss something, people can email me any time.

As for Redot, I don't wish to get involved or cover it in any way, because it started due to people people fucking morons about LGBT+. I won't get bogged down into it, but clearly the people that started Redot are not people I want to be involved with or cover in any way. I watched the entire thing unfold and continue my support of Godot.

I want to see more game content in the form of reviews and / or game impressions (eg just talk about some game you / other contributor enjoys playing on Linux / is a fan of) and similar stuff.

I already do that where I can, but being a one-person show 99% of the time, reviews take hours and hours and hours to do. If I try to review *a lot* more, I end up seriously behind on everything else sadly. But I will continue to do them where I can where it makes sense. But you might want to look at a certain review tomorrow...

Quoting: EhvisOn 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 sounds like something that would be easily done with a user script via Tampermonkey and the likes. Just look for links to the usual stores, run them through a regular expression to strip the tracking query parameter and update the hyperlink.

I'm too busy at the moment, but if Liam doesn't mind, I could make such a script for you in a couple weeks probably.

I don't mind at all, use whatever you need / want folks. I won't bug anyone about blocking / replacing things.
