There's a lot of confusion between compiling Godot and exporting projects.
This aims to resolve part of the confusion by cross-linking other pages
for each platform.

Exporting for Linux

===================

This page describes how to export a Godot project to Linux.
|
|
If you're looking to compile editor or export template binaries from source instead,
|
|
read :ref:`doc_compiling_for_x11`.

The simplest way to distribute a game for PC is to copy the executable
|
|
(``godot``), compress the folder and send it to someone else. However, this is
|
|
often not desired.
|
|
|
|
Godot offers a more elegant approach for PC distribution when using the export
|
|
system. When exporting for Linux, the exporter takes all the project files and
|
|
creates a ``data.pck`` file. This file is bundled with a specially optimized
|
|
binary that is smaller, faster and does not contain the editor and debugger.
