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.

    What customer service are you referring to? People can already submit customer service concerns about SteamOS. Valve are not obligated to do anything about them. If anything there would be fewer of them because it would actually work.

    What customer service do you think those other distributions are offering? What customer service do you think MS is offering?

      Liability and expectations. You can sue Valve. You are unable to sue Bazzite, and they have no liability or warranties for any given release of their operating system.

      Steam Support is held in high regard because they are willing to go above and beyond for customers prior. If something broke inside of a generic SteamOS installation completely outside of Valve’s control, that would reflect badly on the staff and the brand.

        You can sue anyone for anything.

        have no liability or warranties for any given release of their operating system.

        SteamOS doesn’t either.

        If something broke inside of a generic SteamOS installation completely outside of Valve’s control, that would reflect badly on the staff and the brand.

        It’s already outside of Valve’s control. They don’t control the Linux kernel, they don’t control KDE, they don’t control any of the software on the device, including ones pre-installed or ones in the store. And they don’t need to.
