I'm not a "Linux Guy" really but I started re-evaluating it lately, and I think it might not just be for the Tech Weirdos anymore. It can absolutely be a daily driver for a lot of game developers now! https://brodybrooks.com/posts/2024-linuxgamedev/ #GameDev #IndieDev #Linux #PopOs #LinuxMint #UnrealEngine #Unity 8 comments
@brody As somebody who has used both the windows and linux releases of the Unity editor across multiple versions, I have to disagree a little with the sentiment of it working about as well as in Windows as I encountered *so* many stability issues as well as instances where sometimes the editor simply wouldn't launch @psilocervine Ah, crud. Honestly, I haven't gone deep into Unity work lately - I did some cursory testing when evaluating moving to Linux - so that sucks to hear :< Trying to move away from Unity anyways lol @brody Me too, honestly, Unity's mostly around because I need it for legacy projects I'm working on that would be too much work to move off the engine and client work. Godot's a great choice aside from some *VERY* specific to me issues so I've been going down the nightmare path of making my own engine @brody I switched to Linux 11 years ago, with a dual boot computer so that I could still run games on Windows if I just really couldn't get one to work on Linux. Installing and configuring Linux on a new computer now is so much easier than it was back then. And even in 2013 I manged quite easily with no existing experience or anyone to help me.  @eibriel Oh shit, really? I figured once Adobe got their hands on it, that was done-zo |
