That's true. I was mainly trying to indicate there is no boxing or anything like some languages seem to have with their types.

There is a module in gamelib [0] which will automatically clone, build, and link raylib to your program. There are several other third party libs there as well, including SDL2 and Curl.

Memory allocation matches C, i.e. malloc and free are used. If interoperating with C++, you can use new and delete.

Chat profanity filtering is usually part of Xbox/PlayStation certification requirements, so their hands might be tied on that.

I have a Surface Pro 2 running with the linux-surface kernel [0]. It feels like it has some rough edges - you have to decide between having pen support or having touch screen support, and suspend can be unreliable. These issues may be fixed now. Also, I encrypted my Windows partition, and now it requires the key each time to boot up, so I recommend against doing that.
Overall, I do agree that the hardware feels quite nice, and besides those issues I listed, the Linux experience is quite good. I was very happy to not be forced to use Windows.

I'm not sure why you say it's a "quite safe" assumption that most games are written in C#. Unity's beginner-friendliness gives it a disproportionate presence online, while the vast majority of AAA games are still solidly C++.
If we eliminate all games with less than 1000 sales or something, I think it would be a very low confidence estimate.
