      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.

      That seems like a great reason to use it.

      The “g” doesn’t connect, so the risk is pretty low

    And their website is here https://opengamingcollective.org/

    This sounds huge!

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

      I wish ASUS would focus on their hardware, too.

    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
