An exciting new announcement is the formation of the Open Gaming Collective, a collaborative organisation between many names in the Linux sphere.

      A spokesman for OGC said, “It is not inappropriate to an organisation that’s looking to have a firm grip on Government spend.”

      At least they’ve got a good sense of humour about it.

    I fail to see the point of this.

    “The Open Gaming Collective (OGC) is building a unified set of gaming-focused components used across the Linux ecosystem.”

    So, like, a meta package? I don’t understand this, as a linux user. And the projects mentioned on their homepage are…nieche at best.

    Can someone explain to me how this would benefit linux gamers and freedom of choice on linux?

    Edit: wording.

      i think it will just lessen duplication of effort when improving driver support for gaming hardware

      so distros can chip into that and mostly focus on their intended gaming experience

      “Our team focuses on Linux for many ASUS hardware…”

      I wish ASUS would focus on their hardware, too.
