GLF OS EN
Gaming Linux Fr is a community of gamer enthusiasts organized around a Discord, a website and Vinceff's Youtube channel.
Today, we're the first French-speaking community dedicated to gaming on Linux.
We regularly launch projects to improve Linux accessibility. For example, we have already worked on scripts for Arch Linux (Architect), as well as applications to facilitate software installation, such as Easy Flatpak.
Our community also performs audit exercises, to highlight the Linux distributions that come closest to our ideal vision. This vision is focused on newcomers (out-of-the-box installation), multimedia and gaming, straight from the installation stage.
And it was by combining these two exercises that the idea of creating our own distribution was born: to deliver a stable, accessible, gaming-oriented operating system. It meets all the GLF specifications.
This project is first and foremost a community project, for Gaming Linux Fr. It's also a challenge, taken up by our community.

Community
Designed by a core team fully committed to the Gaming Linux FR ecosystem, this project represents the spirit of collaboration. Each member plays a crucial role, and it's by pooling our efforts that we bring this initiative to life. Gaming on Linux is still a challenge today, as the experience is not always immediate and optimal. With GLF OS, you instantly benefit from the results of dozens of benchmarks and tests carried out by our community over the past three years. This project is also yours - it's a community project! If you'd like to join us on this adventure, we'd love to hear from you. Our journey is just beginning !
