    It’s been production-ready for a while, Valve is known to use it for long time. Official release is more for API and ABI stability so you don’t have to change anything to upgrade.

    downvoting because there’s no indication as to exactly what this is and how it fits into the technology community.

    Edit: Some sort of game engine?

      SDL is a widely-used-on-Linux platform abstraction layer. A lot of games have targeted it to make themselves more portable and provide some basic functionality.

      If you’ve been on Linux for some years, you’ve probably run into it. I’d guess that most Windows users probably wouldn’t know what it is, though.

        I’ve been using Linux since about 2011, but I’m blind, so I have very little need for video games, which may explain why I have not run into it, or at least not to my knowledge. The only Linux games I can remember playing are Open Arena and SuperTux Card LOL.

      SDL3 is a set of C libraries for doing cross platform gamedev stuff. It abstract over platform APIs for things like window creation/management, input handling, audio etc.
