Not sure if this goes her because im new to lemmy, but i have a snapdragon plus laptop, 16 ram, no gpu, i got this laptop recently when it was on sale for portability and because chromebooks are bad.

I want to get into gamedev and explore both 2d and 3d but im unsure what to try with my laptop as a newcomer not knowing much?

What would you suggest and why so? i need the simplest of the simple.

Never ever get into godot.

It's extremely complex for a beginner and extremely amateur for an advanced game designer.

Honestly it's a failed attempt to make a foss engine to compete with bigger non-foss game engines. Any sane game developer knows godot can't really compete with them actually.

Many people (those who never actually attempted to work beside tutorial projects) will disagree with me cause "open source = good".

That sounds a little extreme
