The Open Gaming Collective (OGC) has launched as a collaborative initiative bringing together developers from Bazzite, PikaOS, ASUS Linux, ChimeraOS, Nobara, and other Linux gaming projects. The collective aims to consolidate development efforts on shared components like kernel patches, graphics tooling (Mesa, Vulkan, Wayland), gaming peripherals support, and gaming-focused packages. Operating under a "Lazy Consensus" governance model and an "Upstream First" policy, OGC commits to submitting improvements to original upstream projects rather than maintaining permanent forks. Their first major project is the OGC Kernel, a gaming-focused Linux kernel fork designed to eventually merge patches into mainline Linux.
