I wish people would get in the habit of posting the original source of the news instead of an article about the original source. This article doesn't add any useful commentary or insight beyond what is already stated in the original post.
The normal user that has a job, a life, a world outside of social media isn't going to be going to monitor and go to all the disparate original sources to find this information. The journalists who are paid to go to all of these original sources, aggregate, add their thoughts if they have it, and let their audience know about all the news. They deserve to be paid by their job to aggregate and inform with some clicks and some ad revenue.
Otherwise, how about you go and trawl the internet for all gaming news all day every day and do it for free for the rest of us instead of complaining. But we all know none of you complainers do, you go to the same gaming sites OP does, reads the same articles, and then just complain about how unoriginal everyone else is.
This is excellent news! I know that Nobara and PikaOS were already code sharing for some stuff like the driver manager, so I'm happy to see them deepen that bond and bring others aboard.
I think the main difference is before they would go
kernel patch -> own repo -> (own distro and PR to mainline Linux) -> other distros
now they're gonna go
kernel patch -> OGC repo -> (OGC distros and PR to mainline Linux) -> other distros
and that means there will be way more code reviewers and testers (and more automated testing?) happening before release
and these things being merged together earlier also makes it easier, especially since I imagine the mainline Linux is pretty slow to accept gaming-related patches
I mean good to have collaboration but honestly only seeing ASUS as a large, mainstream hardware company on there does say a lot about how the industry still views Linux as not worth supporting and that hardware support is key for getting Linux adoption for everyday use going.

OGC?
I thought we settled that it's not a good acronym...

I so so love open source. "We are all in competition with each other. Let's pool our resources and share knowledge to make us all better."

Right? Can you imagine this headline except it says MS, Google, and Apple are going to move toward a common kernel?
xtools@programming.dev · 15 pts · 190d
they'd be more likely to move towards a common way to invade people's privacy

They do these types of things, a lot more often than open source projects actually.
Thread Group:
I will list more that for example google and/or apple are a part of, but not the involved companies to not make a wall
Not to mention smaller groups that collaborate to discuss strategy over activies like golf or dinners.
The downside is that very very often, the collaboration involves how best to fuck over consumers and the general public for more profit margin.

If I was the tyrant king of Lemmy I would force all communities to do this

You know what, I honestly hate this argument.

Tbf, the article author links the original source right at the start lol

One thing you'll learn on Lemmy is that they don't want to give low effort articles the clicks.

Pardon my ignorance but why is a "collective" necessary for this? Is this not something they could have already been doing unofficially?

Yes, but this formalizes things, possibly putting in place policies and SOPs and uniformly agreed upon structures
Not to mention, depending on the legal structure, tax benefits and cash pooling and other financial benefits
PabloSexcrowbar@piefed.social · -6 pts · 191d
Yes, but now they can use it to dodge taxes while doing so /s

why is this getting downvotes?? it's funny
is that not the point of a sarcastic joke?

Still very good to see traction.

Guess ASUS gets my money.

ASUS Linux is a community effort, not part of ASUS the company.
I'd love to be wrong, but I can't find any sources on significant contributions from ASUS.
