The Open Gaming Collective (OGC) was an interesting announcement recently from a few bigger names, but the CachyOS team opted out of it and now we know why.

Well, fuck. I just learned about this drama, and it doesn’t seem very positive for Bazzite’s future. What is it about Discord servers that turns adults into spoiled brats? Idk whether Antheas’ version of events are 100% truthful, but he’s at least one point about some of the questionable changes recently, and I’ve seen some power tripping from the Bazzite devs wrt Ptyxis and Bazaar.
Luckily, since it’s ostree based I can switch back to eg Fedora Kinoite with a single command if things get too bad. It would be a real shame if Bazzite died though, as it’s one of the best out of the box experiences for gaming PCs/handhelds. For now, I’m sticking with it.
Oh wow I was not aware of the drama behind Bazzite.
Years ago I installed manjaro and I want to rebuild the system soon, I use that computer for gaming so Bazzite seemed the most suited to that, but when I tried it in a VM it gave me the feeling of being unpolished compared to Kinoite (the documentation of how to use fedora silverblue is excellent, and bazzite deviates quite a bit from that and adds a lot of custom tools and utilities).
I think I’ll go with Kinoite after reading this, hoping that it works relatively well on nvidia…

Antheas was removed from the bazzite project:
So maybe take his writeup with a grain of salt.
Not saying that it’s false, or that it’s not a complex issue, but none of us were in the room so who’s to say one way or the other.
