Linux communities in Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya and Africa overall are on the rise.

Been following several local instances, heroes and creators.

Any African Linux users and enthusiasts on Mastodon? Please, chime in 🙂

I'd love to hear more stories, about meetups, startups, successes etc. (!)

Knights of Light / Kickstarter.

Historical AAA action RPG set in Middle East.

The devs: "We believe gamers should play their games on the platform they prefer. Unlike most studios we can ALWAYS support Linux systems without worrying about costs thanks to our location in Egypt in Africa.

A studio that will ALWAYS support Linux systems. A type of games that is not very common on Linux. We even plan to have DRM free release".
