I'm a long time Unity3D C# programmer and i mostly build android games for fun. About half a year ago i dumped windows for Debian Linux(fucking love it) but I quickly started to miss my unity3d environment. Unity in a VM doesn't work and the outdated, beta, crash prone linux version doesn't support android so i started looking for an alternative.

I decided to give Godot a shot but moving from a statistically typed language to a dynamically typed one literally breaks my brain. The last couple of hours of reading the documentation pretty much consisted of: WHAT? YOU CAN'T DO THAT! NO. WHAT? WTF IS THAT SYNTAX? oh I think I'm getting it WHAT DO YOU MEAN POINTERS DON'T EXIST!?

    U kinda in the same situation like me ;)
    I have used Arch Linux for about 1 year. Thats mean no unity engine until I team up with people at Global Game Jam 2017 and they use unity. So I have to use unity in linux but unity in linux port is so horrible experience. At that time, It had a bug that will use 1 cpu core at 100% on doing nothing from its editor. Some ui glitch and export project feature is broke. Jam is fun but unity suck some fun from that 😑 (next time I will team up with artist only)

    @CozyPlanes if you really want to learn unity I suggest Brackeys personally.

    @CSaratakij yep. I went to watch his C# for beginners because I had nothing to do and now I recommend him to people who want to learn

    Friendly pro tip:

    @newbiedog that's what i have now. But windows 10 literally takes 10 times longer to boot than linux+windows7 vm. And when it does boot its slow as a turtle with osteosclerosis for about 2 hours until it decides to turn off it's telemetry services and crap. Fuck windows

    @soolkiki i am aware what '!' stands for. This however is not a rant. Not in my book anyways

    @hellvetica i use dual boot with win 8.1 and linux mint and the boot times are too damn high for both but that's no matter if you are not in a hurry i guess, i supose that's the price to pay for

    @newbiedog my Debian 8 boots in about a minute from an hdd

    Wine?

    @hellvetica 1 Minute? How can u live with that? My win 10 kicks me to Desktop in a few seconds (even on my old hdd) lucky i left linux for win 10 (and i mostly left it because of unity5) and now i regret how much time i wasted with >10 years fiddling with packet lists, outdated drivers, and random errors, instead of just use the os for what o really want to do

    @Salmakis really? Because i did a clean install of win10 and it took 5 min to boot and when it did boot disk kicked in to 100% and stayed like that for an hour with nothing running making the machine unusable. I tried every fix out there i even bought a new hdd and i still have the same issue

    @ParkCity nope. Very unsable. Even if it wasn't, building for android would be a nightmare
