From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it's gaming you can probably discuss it here!

Friendly Linux Players, or FLiP, is a gaming community I run. The last time I posted about this on Reddit, the reception was pretty negative, which I think may be because it was viewed as "too woke." I don't imagine will be a problem here on Beehaw, but hopefully this post falls within the intended spirit of the server.

I co-founded FLiP years ago, primarily motivated by the fact that no other specifically-inclusive Linux gaming community existed at the time, that I was aware of. Earlier this year, I created a bot which allows anyone to schedule a gaming event. Since then, we've had a lot more participation in the community, and I have been telling people about us publicly for the first times.

If this sounds interesting to you (even if you don't play on Linux), and you can abide by our Code of Conduct, details on the community can be found on the home page of our website. Of particular interest may be the events page, which lists upcoming events and how to join them.

If you still want to read more, we did a Q&A session with GitLab:

Yeah thanks for sharing, this seems pretty cool. My daily driver is exclusively Linux, so I'm always happy to learn from others navigating the world of Linux gaming.
