Fedora Games Lab Looks To Be Revitalized As Modern Linux Gaming Showcase (www.phoronix.com)

One of the lesser known Fedora spins under the "Fedora Labs" initiative is the Fedora Games Lab that showcases some open-source games and can serve as an easy demonstrator for Linux gaming. Looking forward to 2026 with Fedora 44, there is a proposal to revitalize Fedora Games Lab to become a better showcase for the modern potential of Linux gaming.

Fedora Games Lab as it is right now just is a showcase of Fedora with the Xfce desktop and installing a few open-source games by default. They include classic titles such as BZFlag and Freeciv to games popular among Linux die-hards like Extreme Tux Racer as well as some more well known open-source game efforts like Battle for Wesnoth and Warzone 2100.

So they should do just another distro for the sake of making another distro

No one is asking for another distro?

I doubt they can focus on broad support while providing these kinds of specific optimisations.

If the handful of volunteers at Bazzite can do it, I'm pretty sure the multi-billion dollar company can figure it out. They obviously don't want to for some reason.

Also what brand recognition?

Steam? The single most recognizable brand in PC gaming?

Do I sound like a bot?

Yes. Everything you quoted was taken out of context

And you sound like someone who has nothing interesting left to say.
