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.”Jan 31 06:53
schestowitz[TR2]A few things to keep in mind:Jan 31 06:53
schestowitz[TR2]- The “Open Gaming Collective” is spear-headed by a Microsoft employee.Jan 31 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."Jan 31 06:53
schestowitz[TR2]-MS LundukeJan 31 06:53
schestowitz[TR2]Bazzite is one of severalJan 31 06:53

schestowitz[TR2]""Jan 31 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”.Jan 31 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”.Jan 31 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”.Jan 31 06:54
schestowitz[TR2]The CachyOS founder ends with, “We neither want to be associated with Playtron too.  There are more reasons, but I’ll keep them out of the public.”"Jan 31 06:54
