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.

I think so too. It makes sense to start with making it run on the hardware you have. Making it run nicely on other computers would require more time and money. Doing so can still make sense in the long run, but first you need to launch this new product, so better focus on short term goals.

Right. There is probably a certain point where other hardware support is just a happy accident or miniscule effort. Its just there yet for them though it is getting close!
