GLF OS

GLF OS is a gaming-oriented live Linux distribution based on NixOS. Developed by a French-speaking community called Gaming Linux France (GLF), the distribution includes everything one would need for gaming on Linux, including Steam, Lutris, Heroic Games Launcher, as well as MangoHud, a tool for monitoring system performance and for benchmarking applications. GLF OS comes with specific hardware-management configurations for PS5 DualSense, Xbox and 8bitdo controllers. The distribution uses the GNOME desktop environments.

Gaming Linux Fr is a community of enthusiasts built around a Discord and a website. We are 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.
