Quick Report

A new initiative called the Open Gaming Collective (OGC) has been formed to improve the Linux gaming experience. Founded by ASUS's Linux division, Universal Blue/Bazzite, ChimeraOS, Nobara, Playtron, Fyra Labs, PikaOS, and ShadowBlip, the OGC aims to create a unified set of software components and standards for Linux gaming. The group will focus on upstream-first development, shared gaming kernels, and expanded hardware support, making Linux gaming more accessible and reliable.

The OGC's collaborative approach is expected to reduce fragmentation and maintenance overhead, benefiting all Linux gamers. The move follows the success of Valve's SteamOS and Proton, and could further accelerate Linux's growth as a gaming platform.
