The Open Gaming Collective (OGC) was an interesting announcement recently from a few bigger names, but the CachyOS team opted out of it and now we know why.

Oh wow I was not aware of the drama behind Bazzite.

Years ago I installed manjaro and I want to rebuild the system soon, I use that computer for gaming so Bazzite seemed the most suited to that, but when I tried it in a VM it gave me the feeling of being unpolished compared to Kinoite (the documentation of how to use fedora silverblue is excellent, and bazzite deviates quite a bit from that and adds a lot of custom tools and utilities).

I think I'll go with Kinoite after reading this, hoping that it works relatively well on nvidia...

Antheas was removed from the bazzite project:

The Bazzite team later confirmed GPD wasn’t at fault and that Antheas had been removed by “an overwhelming majority vote” for ongoing conduct issues. Antheas wrote their own version of events, available for your reading pleasure here, if you really enjoy open-source melodrama.

So maybe take his writeup with a grain of salt.
Not saying that it's false, or that it's not a complex issue, but none of us were in the room so who's to say one way or the other.
