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.

* I have added a short note in the [[Documentation_Live_Image_Beat | Doc Beat for Live images]]. Is anything else necessary for release notes?
* Now that a few games that needed downloads have been removed, I need to recheck if openarena will fit. (But it isn't likely.)

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.
