Games For Everyone #1: Valve's Third Act Jan 05, 2026

Show notes

One of my favorite recorded conversations happened in 2022, right after Valve launched the Steam Deck. I rounded up Liam from Gaming on Linux, Nick from The Linux Experiment, and Gardiner Bryant for an organic chat about Linux gaming. Well, the gang is finally back together!

In this episode we discuss the upcoming Steam Machine and Steam Frame hardware launches, focusing less on specs and more on the impact these could have on broader Linux adoption. We also reflect on how our gaming habits have changed since the Steam Deck launched back in 2022.

Plus, we throw down some bold predictions for 2026, and share what games we've been enjoying during the last month.

Episode 58: Power Up and Freak Out May 10, 2023

Show notes

A talk at the Linux App Summit about software sustainability – and the environmental impact of power-hungry code – was a shocking wake-up call that's too important to ignore. Please give a warm welcome to the creator of that talk, KDE's Joseph P. De Veaugh-Geiss.

In this episode of Linux For Everyone, we discuss Joseph's vital work with KDE Eco, and the path the project is forging to create a culture of software sustainability and inspire more power-efficient software. Our conversation might dramatically change how you think about the apps you use, and the potentially devastating ecological footprint of the software installed on millions -- if not billions -- of devices.

Joseph and I both hope this episode inspires more conversation and more awareness.To that end, here is a long list of resources and links to help you better understand the situation, and to get directly involved!
