All is fine for linux users if you don’t break proton, which is rare. Unless you’re doing something like kernel-level AC, windows-only APIs, etc. which you (very likely) won’t do.

If it is made in godot or unity (unsure about unreal an others), it would be quite impressive to make it unable to compile on linux. It should be as easy as just chosing another release target.

Will do for linux Thanks! Please wishlist it to support me. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3896300/Toll_Booth_Simulator_Schedule_of_Chaos/

“Quitting your job to make games” is just like quitting your job to write your novel

I think it’s actually worse since you can’t directly make money from the game while making it. You can stream for example, but it requires a completely different skillset.

Compare that to, for example, writers releasing chapters on royal road, getting some funding through patreon while writing (in return for advanced chapters), and quitting their jobs when the book sales pick up. Like yeah it’s still really hard to make good money, but the possibility of slowly progressing into full time writing is why people can try to do it.

You’re leaving out plenty of other possibilities including simply having enough saved to be able to go without a regular job for a while in pursuit of other goals. I’ve worked with and know several people who will cycle in and out of work to pursue other things in life. Not all lifestyles require constant employment.
