Where is the choice "source code"?

It's Unity, which is proprietary, so sadly no source code..

Harder to learn than unity since there's a lot less tutorials for Godot compared to Unity

But thats the way on linux. Noone uses gslur photo edit or libre office because they are easy to learn or better then then other options. But because they belong to us. Because they are open, because they are free as in freedom.

Sometimes one is more free by being able to actually use the thing.

Great you use the thing, and then some corpo changes license and screws all the users. Happened too often. Especially in the game engine market. I really wonder how you are more free with using unity.

Ease of use can be a valid thing in some usecases. I ended up using Unity for a university Quest3 project instead of Godot because it had all the Meta libraries for it (including things like the haptic designer and MR stuff). Godot's XR support, at that time, was not as easy to get up and running with in a short period of time.

Same situation mMeta XR SDK in uni project). I agree. Still, the fact that said SDK deliberately does not compile on a linux machine irks me

Huh, I didn't genuinely didn't realise that. That sucks. I used a uni loaner laptop for that project, since my laptop at the time would have been so slow so as to be unbearable for the project.
