I have put together a short video that might help you switch from Windows to Linux as a game developer.
Check it out and send it to fellow gamedevs!
I'm not a youtuber so I hope I'm making sense here. Let me know if you have any questions or need help! Cheers!

Indie Game Dev friends: are you using AI tools to write your code? (including AI autocomplete etc.)

Tried using a Mac and apparently you cannot run third party apps at all anymore. The spctl trick doesn’t work anymore and leads to this.
I like how the os is killing the process (SIGKILL) and then tries to pain this as an error in the app.
Why can’t both Microsoft and Apple just let me use my computer? I feel like I’m going insane.

I was pointed to the fact that "Stop Killing Videogames" has a FAQ that answers some of my questions. I checked the FAQ and WOW!
Will devs go bankrupt? The answer is NOT "no".
Will this harm devs? The answer is NOT "no".
Is this a security risk? "Not at all". (apart from a chace to go bankrupt, I guess)
DO. NOT. SIGN. THIS.

I WILL NOT SIGN the "Stop Killing Videogames" petition and if you're a game developer with half a braincell left in you, you should not as well.
It is a poorly written attempt at a petition by someone who seems to have no idea that games exist outside of AAA/online-only ones.
And it's a shame because I am 100% behind video game preservation, but this petition is so poorly written, I will actually fight against it.
I explained why it's bad on B: https://bsky.app/profile/sosowski.bsky.social/post/3l3df3pudge26

So imagine I wanted a sine function, but more flattened towards the extremes. Like squared, but both ways. How would I go about this?

I love it when I work for half a day to solve a problem and and when I start implementing it I find out I have already anticipated the problem and done that months ago.
