I've started out recently with a trial of RPG Maker MV and MZ, both are actually pretty beginner friendly, and have assets out of the box to get you started. But when I delved into it, I notice that it feels out of date and a bit restrictive which is why it is very reliant on others Java scripts to make changes and alterations to your game project to give it some extra flexibility. My biggest problem aside from that is that they don't support Linux, I find it foolish for companies to still ignore open source and Linux after all things they have accomplished. They give the PS4 and the Switch a RPG Maker but not Linux? How could you not support Linux in this day and age?
Apparently MV has a option to export game projects to Linux but when I tried that it didn't work and it seems no one really about Linux game deployment. Not to mention getting MV the previous version of RPGM that supposedly works on Linux via Steam/Steam OS. I've emailed the company and posted in the community but still nothing. Despite RPGM claiming to have Linux support back around 2016. Forget trying to get a game on Linux ARM OS's such as Raspberry Pi OS, the program doesn't even get a game project on Linux Mint working.
Without dragging this on I like Linux and the open-source community and I want to support that. But my thing is, is Godot beginner friendly? Will they work on making it beginner friendly if it's not? Also when will they support Linux ARM?
I use Linux Mint as my daily OS, currently its Cinnamon edition 20.1.
