An exciting new announcement is the formation of the Open Gaming Collective, a collaborative organisation between many names in the Linux sphere.

The Linux community comes together and tries to solve problems together? Instead fighting each other… Okay, that’s a new one for me.
News flash: the things the Linux (open source in general) community fight about are also fought between developers of proprietary software. But you only see some of those fights because the others are either “trade secrets” you have to sign in blood not to reveal, or are in the form of corporate competition, sabotage, and lock-in instead of heated but usually still civil discussion where bridges and compatibility layers can still be built between even completely opposing camps.
Where have you been, the cave?
Linux community have been solving problems together since the dawn of time, despite the bazillion different standards they endorse on their own, they collaborate with each other.
Take a look at KDE & GNOME. They are opposed to each other on the surface level, but they both share countless amount of work. Also MATE, which is a fork of GNOME that is created basically from disagreement of modern GNOME’s direction, still uses a lot of GNOME’s library.
It was meant to be a meme reply more than anything serious. Obviously there are communities and individuals working together, and on other places they fight each other. I should have made that more clear, that’s on me.
That lasted for 25 minutes before someone else replied saying it should avoid serving Valve’s interests.
