Looking for #linux #gamedev info!
I'm looking for suggestions on the distribution to install on a Dell Latitude 5420, in particular with focus on #gamedev (mostly #godot stuff, likely some #unity stuff).
I've used linux, both as user and sysadmin, until around ~10 years ago, mostly on #debian, and sometimes still use it in virtual machines (mostly #ubuntu).
Woud love:
- suggestions based on the points above
- boosts
Would not love:
- distro wars
Thanks everybody <3
@RedGlow one more reason to consider Debian - it is the official (new) Steam Runtime. What you get from building & testing natively should match closely with what happens inside the runtime.
@RedGlow SteamOS itself is still the Arch fork Manjaro, but any game running inside of Steam doesn't get to see much of that. Games are run inside a "pressure vessel", where they are told to use the libraries and whatever other environment details that come with the runtime. I'm pretty sure the runtime has always been based on some (usually ancient) version of Debian.
