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.

The rapid growth model only makes sense for people looking for investors and the promise to snag a customer base once their hooked.

Value has a lot to lose but mostly margins to gain.

Listen I'm for keeping them pushing towards ethical contributions to the ecosystem, but I also entirely understand them not doing so just for charities sake alone.

Fair on the release part lol. I didn't know that, but I guess the ignore part is still an issue since people want them to get it to work with other hardware out of scope, or worse Nvidia

I don't know where you're getting this nonsense about a "rapid growth model". Improving hardware compatibility is absolutely not going to lead to rapid growth.

Why should they do it again?
