There are a few opensource games out there, but many aren't in distro repos, or for windows, or released on itch.io requiring an account to download, etc. What could a open source game store for opensource games for all distros look like?

Static links would be a problem, like replicating the same lib/resources multiple times in a system, Reason why the dynamic links for bin are a thing?

The reason we do dynamic linking is because it saves RAM. The reason we sometimes don't is because not everyone has the same glibc version.
