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.
