ogc-kernel

Publishes prebuilt RPMs of the OGC kernel for Fedora x86_64, fetched upstream and published via GitHub Actions on a 6-hour cycle.

About

The Open Gaming Collective is a shared effort to consolidate gaming-related kernel improvements across projects instead of each one maintaining its own separate fork and patch set.

The OGC kernel is based on the upstream Fedora kernel with additional patches targeting handheld and gaming hardware (scheduler tuning, controller/HID fixes, power management for handheld SoCs, etc.).

This repository does not build the kernel. It fetches the prebuilt RPMs and republishes them as GitHub releases.
Artifact extraction pipeline only. Kernel and RPM maintenance is handled by the OCG team.

Packages

Package	Description
kernel	Meta-package, depends on kernel-core + kernel-modules
kernel-core	Bootable kernel binary and essential modules
kernel-modules	Additional loadable kernel modules
kernel-devel	Headers/files for building external (out-of-tree) modules
kernel-devel-matched	kernel-devel pinned to the currently running kernel version
kernel-headers	Headers for userspace program compilation

Manual installation

Grab the RPMs for the current release from the releases page.

curl -LO https://github.com/DXC-0/ogc-kernel-rpm/releases/latest/download/kernel-<version>.rpm
curl -LO https://github.com/DXC-0/ogc-kernel-rpm/releases/latest/download/kernel-core-<version>.rpm
curl -LO https://github.com/DXC-0/ogc-kernel-rpm/releases/latest/download/kernel-modules-<version>.rpm

sudo dnf install ./kernel-*.rpm

Add kernel-devel (or kernel-devel-matched) and kernel-headers if you need DKMS or out-of-tree module builds.

Verifying downloads

Each asset's SHA256 is listed on the release page. Verify before installing:

sha256sum kernel-core-<version>.rpm

Compare against the published digest.

Verifying the running kernel

Reboot and confirm:

uname -r

Uninstalling

Do not remove the kernel currently in use.

sudo dnf remove kernel-<version>
