I think a games spin is more likely to get people to try it out than most other spins. As such it makes it a nice candidate for being handed out at events focusing on introducing people to Fedora. While the games are not going to be impressive for hard core gamers, there is a nice variety that is likely to have something of interest for most people. A liveusb based on the spin could be even better as that allows people to play their games on other people's computers while keeping their saved games and high score lists with them.

Games

The Fedora Games Lab offers a perfect show-case of the best games available in Fedora. The included games span several genres, from first person shooters to real-time and turn based strategy games to puzzle games.

Not all the games available in Fedora are included on this lab, but trying out this lab will give you a fair impression of Fedora's abilities to run great games.

This is a great lab to hand out events where there will be people interested in test driving Fedora to see what it is like.

This lab includes a number of popular games including Battle for Wesnoth, FreeCiv, Scorched 3D, SuperTuxKart and Nethack.

Fedora Games Lab demonstrates Fedora's ability to play games. The best games in a number of categories are included in the lab.

Benefit to Fedora

Games gets people going. The Games lab is a nice candidate for being handed out at events focusing on introducing people to Fedora. While the games are not going to be impressive for hard core gamers, Fedora contains a healthy variety that is likely to have something of interest for most people.

A liveusb based on the lab could be even better as that allows people to play their games on other people's computers while keeping their saved games and high score lists with them.

Kickstart File

https://pagure.io/fedora-kickstarts/blob/main/f/fedora-live-games.ks

ISO Name / FS Label

  • ISO name: Fedora-$release-$arch-Live-Games.iso
  • FS-Label: Fedora-$release-$arch-Games

Ongoing Scope

  • The vision is to pick a good set of showcase games, while still fitting into a reasonable sized download.
  • Review existing included games for suitability.
  • Test sound and music for games that provide it.
  • Test network play for games that support it.
  • Getting good hardware coverage for testing 3D games may be difficult.
