Leveling Up the Ecosystem, Together.

The Open Gaming Collective (OGC) is building a unified set of gaming-focused components used across the Linux ecosystem.

The Mission

Open Gaming Collective (OGC) is a working group for organizations and individuals interested in improving the open source gaming ecosystem. The mission is to provide a collaborative framework for upstream changes to the various gaming components that will benefit all projects.

Founding Members

Universal Blue & Bazzite

We think the future of Linux gaming is a collaborative effort forged in mutual interest and friendship and want to do our part to make that happen!

ASUS Linux

Our team focuses on Linux for many ASUS hardware. In being part of OGC, we aim to provide seamless, high-quality, and early support for users and developers while collaborating with others and reducing fragmentation. In doing so, we more closely bridge the gap between enthusiast hardware and the mainline kernel.

ShadowBlip

ShadowBlip is a collection of developers focused on enhancing gaming on Linux with handheld and console-like PCs. Our projects are used in many popular gaming distributions such as SteamOS, Nobara, Playtron, and more. As founding members of the Open Gaming Collective, we focus on delivering projects that benefit the whole gaming on Linux ecosystem.

PikaOS

One of our goals at Pika is to improve gaming accessibility and performance on Linux, with a particular focus on better support and representation for Debian-based distributions within the gaming ecosystem. The OGC is a great place to further these goals and really maximise and contribute to the great work done by Linux gaming community as a whole.

Fyra Labs

Fyra Labs was founded on the mission to bring desktop Linux to the everyday person. We believe that the growing popularity of Linux gaming is beneficial to that goal. Through our founding involvement in OGC, we hope to accelerate the adoption of gaming on Linux, advancing our core mission.

Strategic Partners & Core Contributors

Collaborating with ChimeraOS, Nobara, and Playtron to maintain the core plumbing of the ecosystem.

Shared Technical Pillars

OGC focuses on the foundational layers of the Linux gaming stack. We host shared components, agreed upon by the members, for all to use, with an "Upstream First" philosophy.

Some of the projects we have in mind:

• The OGC Kernel — a shared gaming-focused kernel
• A downstream fork of Gamescope that expands hardware support to more devices
