Hello Everybody!

We’d like to announce that a new SIG (Special Interest Group) has been created and you can find it in our Mattermost ([https://chat.rockylinux.org](https://chat.rockylinux.org)) as SIG/Desktop and Gaming

The purpose of this group is to provide answers, solutions and sharing tips and tricks related to running Rocky Linux as a workstation or a gaming rig!

Here you will find topics ranging from how can you install the linux Steam Client to play your favourite games in our Operating System to configuring a specific GPU such as NVIDIA or AMD,

Running software via tools such as Lutris, Wine, configuring Proton, installing and configuring streaming tools, using loopback devices, audio and video editing under RockyLinux, working with different desktop environments such as Plasma, GNOME, Cinnamon and much more!

If you use RockyLinux as a desktop, this is a great place to meet likeminded people and share your tips to set up a great system.

Hope to see you there!

Sincerely,  
The Rocky Linux Project
