I have currently 13 tabs open and I don’t see the issue. RAM is there to be used. I actually expect my programs to extensively cache stuff and use the RAM.

(The other Firefox processes for the individual tabs are cut from the screenshot.)

And cached. Browsers just use the RAM for what it exists for.

“Making a game” involves many different subjects. Since were in a programming community I guess things like storytelling, worldbuilding, writing lore, writing characters or missions/quests, designing ingame or promotional art, etc. is ruled out.

Depending on the game you want to work on, you should learn how to use the game’s engine. It’s always good to know C/C++ well, Lua is also pretty common for scripting. Game engines sometimes also come with their own scripting languages.

You should also learn 3D modelling, 3D design, GLSL for shaders, etc. Even if modern engines cover a lot of this for you, it’s always good to know what’s actually happen, so you can properly track down errors.

i cant really make out a different between the definitions of coding and programming, what is the difference if any?

How I see it: All programming is coding, but not all coding is programming. Writing markup (like HTML) or style definitions (CSS) in my world count as coding, too, but not as programming. I’d also say that writing code in any scripting language is not programming but coding. Whenever the code is meant to be compiled into a standalone binary – a program – it’s programming.

But why is that?

Because the OBS developers say so.

And since I’m not on Ubuntu, I use the Flatpak version to get OBS as intended bey the OBS developers.

So its not the package formats issue, but your distribution packaging it wrong. Right?

Exactly. Most distributions fail hard when it comes to packaging OBS correctly. The OBS devs even threatened to sue Fedora over this.

Flatpaks are great for situations where installing software is unnecessary complex or complicated.

I have Steam installed for some games, and since this is a 32 bits application it would install a metric shit-don of 32 bit dependencies I do not use for anything else except Steam, so I use the Flatpak version.

Or Kdenlive for video editing. Kdenlive is the only KDE software I use but when installing it, it feels like due to dependencies I also get pretty much all of the KDE desktop’s applications I do not need nor use nor want on my machine. So Flatpak it is.

And then there is software like OBS, which is known for being borderline unusable when not using the only officially supported way to use it on Linux outside of Ubuntu – which is Flatpak.
