Scared about compatibility with Windows to switch to Linux's Beta IDE
So just to explain: I'm switching to Linux from Windows.
I hate Windows. I hate the bloatware, I hate so much about it, and Linux, for me at least, Linux just works. Using Arch and GameMaker Studio runs amazingly on it.
My main concern though, is compatibility:
- Potential of switching back to Windows if something on the Linux IDE breaks or doesn't compile
- Potential of the game compiling properly on Linux but not on Windows
- Potential of my project files working on Linux, but then if I have to switch back to Windows in the future for whatever reason, that they don't work and I'll have to redo the entire project
Am I just being paranoid? Specifically the concern in bold, should I be worried?
If I'm continually pushing the project to git, should everything just work compatibility wise? Or also, can I simply copy the project folder from Linux to Windows and it should work without issues?
Has anyone used the Linux IDE without any issues in terms of the IDE itself, project compatibility, or compile/run issues on Windows?
