My first distro was Mint. It's great for beginner Linux users, and it's pretty stable. It also avoids the Snap problem Ubuntu forces upon their users.

If you're looking for a more bleeding edge solution, I recommend Garuda Linux. It's Arch-based, and it has a bunch of game-related stuff already installed. It might be a tad less stable due to the Arch underbelly, but I personally like the package system (pacman) a lot more than apt. Also, you get the unmatched power of the Arch wiki when you're in trouble.

I personally think its the idea of "don't touch me or me and my gang gon' fuck you up".

At least that's what I see after watching newer rap music videos romanticizing old gang war concepts in newer popular hits. Then seeing shitty streamers doing the exact same thing the videos show.

I know it's not just rap stuff, but that's just the easiest example that comes to my mind atm.

I personally split gamedev into 5 separate hobbies:

• conceptualizing
• 2d/3d rendering
• music
• programming
• putting it all together Then I rotate between whichever one I feel the most attracted to at the moment.

The hardest thing is to keep within your level. You're not a 1-man army who can make a Hollow Knight in a year. Start with small ideas and expand and remix them as you improve and/or find slaves. But definitely keep the big ideas somewhere bc you might accidentally make all the systems you need along the way.

I find that if my updates aren't frequent enough, then I just forget to do them altogether.
