Episode Synopsis

One of my favorite recorded conversations (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzjmPmfLB-o) happened in 2022, right after Valve launched the Steam Deck. I rounded up Liam from Gaming on Linux (https://gamingonlinux.com), Nick from The Linux Experiment (https://youtube.com/thelinuxexperiment), and Gardiner Bryant (https://youtube.com/gardinerbryant) 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.
