The second GOL Podcast episode of 2021 is here, come get it while it's hot and ranty as we cover a range of weird and wonderful topics in Linux, open source, gaming and more.As usual, it's a very casual and frank chat between two friends (myself) and GOL contributor / Linux livestreamer Samsai about many different Linux-related topics. Apologies for my audio on this one, sadly the gain on my microphone amp was up far too high without me realising and so it's definitely not as clear as previous episodes.Some of the topics covered includes:00:00 Welcome back00:50 Portal 2 got Vulkan thanks to DXVK03:55 Artifact is dead06:40 Hardware accelerated Xwayland support is coming to NVIDIA, driver concerns18:00 AMD RX 6700 XT, no, you cannot buy any22:11 RetroArch announce the Open Hardware project25:00 Valheim is now one of the most successful survival games on Steam with two million sold - no wait, three million, four and then five...31:20 Metro Exodus still due on Linux this year33:12 Valve & Netflix teamed up for a Dota anime series35:35 Take-Two take down: reverse-engineered GTA engine DMCA40:40 Quick-fire release news:Them's Fightin' Herds releases on March 25Skullgirls got an Annie DLC in Beta and their Linux support is to continueGriftlands from Klei Entertainment out for Linux in May41:55 Ending with: what we've been playing.Chat, links and comments in here: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2021/03/the-co-op-news-punch-podcast-episode-27-the-one-with-too-much-gain#Linux #LinuxGaming
