Im trying linux, now im thinking of trying gamedev next. ive watched a ton of devlogs over the years, ive always wanted to make a game but im not sure i have what it takes?
Also is there a free engine i should study if someday i want to make a steam game or join some jam?


Start with game jam. I recommend to start with Godot. It’s quite easy with a bunch of tutorials. I have done couple of game jams.
For a steam game you need to have at least 2 hours of playtime, as everyone will just refund it.
