[06:53]	schestowitz[TR2]	"The Open Gaming Collective was just announced as a group of Linux game-focused projects who plan to work together on gaming-focused components used across the Linux ecosystem.
[06:53]	schestowitz[TR2]	A few things to keep in mind:
[06:53]	schestowitz[TR2]	- The Open Gaming Collective is spear-headed by a Microsoft employee.
[06:53]	schestowitz[TR2]	- The lead project, Bazzite, is one of the most intensely political projects in the Open Source world (regularly banning users and contributors for wrong-think, aggressive Code of Conduct weaponization, targeting children with Trans and Bi-Sexual cartoons, and more).  To call it woke would be an understatement."
[06:53]	schestowitz[TR2]	-MS Lunduke
[06:53]	schestowitz[TR2]	Bazzite is one of several
[06:53]	schestowitz[TR2]	Lunduke himself is Microsoft

[06:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	Apparently CachyOS (an Arch-based Linux distro) was invited to be a part of the Open Gaming Collective, led by Bazzite, but opted out.
[06:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	According to Peter Jung (CachyOS Founder), they do not see all too much benefit and they feel that it could be a bureaucratic loophole.
[06:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	Jung also pointed out that Open Gaming Collective looked like an emergency rushed thing after the Bazzite project recently kicked out one of their core developers (in response to a mob demanding he be removed for transphobic slurs) to help Bazzite find new kernel maintainers.
[06:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	The CachyOS founder ends with, We neither want to be associated with Playtron too.  There are more reasons, but Ill keep them out of the public."
