Hi,
did I understand you correctly if I say that you propose that openSUSE focus on gamers? Sure why not, gamers are generally pretty cool people, often there reasonably tech savvy, there not about to stop using desktops anytime soon and a lot of them are not that satisfied with the latest windows releases.

Just my 10c on the subject Simon

Hi,
2) Are there any other aspects relevant in this discussion? Can you summarize them?

OBS is really cool, but I doubt that basic desktop end user takes time to understand what it is when he wants to play.
Regards,
