       also regarding @cheri@snug.moe's take on flatpaks and static linking: you should always static link games (or provide the .so's with the game and tell the linker to use those instead of the system ones, something you can infact do as a developer and engines like RenPy do)Games are most often a one and done deal, you're probably not going to update most games you make, and if you do then a lot of people will probably want to keep playing old versions for one reason or another (just look at how popular Minecraft 1.7.10 still is for modded servers), and if the game expects the libs to just be somewhere on the system then it'll break the moment the libs are abandoned and eventually removed from the systems people play your games on, and flatpak won't even solve this issue because they don't even ship old runtimes, each runtime has an expiration date and once it's deprecated it's removed from repos and you're back to manually tracking down the libs, only shipping the required libs with the game can prevent this mess
