SDL3 is not release yet, but has hit ABI freeze. Until it's officially released this PR should not be merged.

Currently SDL3 is being installed the hard way (git clone; make; sudo make install), we need to come up with a plan for this to change. Possible alternatives:

  • vendor sdl inside the project statically
  • vendor sdl inside the project, giving a dynamic library
  • wait for sdl to be available in the next ubuntu LTS, which seems to be the most common denominator for old distros. (probably going to take 2 years or more)
  • vendor SDL3 statically only for CI builds, but demand that developers that compile the code handle the problem of providing SDL3 themselves.
