I belive i would like to try making games but my laptop isint that powerful. Its a thinkpad from like 10 years ago, i upgraded it to a 250gb ssd, and 16gb of low voltage ddr3, i also put linux on it to screeze out as much as possible. So i need something that will run but im struggling on choosing expecially sense i want to start for free. I want to start with something dead simple and work my way up.

What would you suggest and why so?

I dabbled a bit with Godot 4 recently and the experience was pretty nice. Gdscript is easy enough to learn and the engine feels very flexible once you learn to use each building block. Guides on YouTube are good and the docs have guides also for creating a 2d top down shooter bullet.

Pretty good all in all IMO.
