@Eideren , please can you review this PR? I am ok with the updates but I need your approval on these changes:

Would it make sense to keep it but add a warning that the page is outdated/incomplete ? Users who are in the process of figuring this out are likely to fall on this page and contribute to it if they see that ? For the platforms page, we could list iOs and android as being yellow/orange - specifying that they may work but they definitely aren't as well tested/supported as the others ? The rest looks good, fantastic work again @ferafiks ! |
Originally that's what I planned, but the page is titled "Create a Linux game", so having it still be there would be misleading. Renaming it also isn't an option, because google indexed the old name. It would have to be moved and right now I'm doing some work on the Game Studio section where that page would belong and I'd prefer to not clutter it more with additional redirect pages. I'm planning to eventually try out the remote feature myself and see if it still works and how it can be used.
This is the main problem I was having with this PR. Depending on who you ask, you're gonna get a different opinion on the state of these platforms, especially because there have been many changes to them recently that are yet to be tested in the real world. As it stands: Stride provides support for all of the listed platforms and all tests are run on each of them to ensure they keep working correctly. In reality, we are yet to see how they hold up. Recently while trying out the beta I immediately ran into an issue with resizing the window on Linux, so should it also be marked as yellow too? I don't think so. |

Description
Updated the platforms section, adding missing platforms and removing certain pages. For now, this is a draft until stride3d/stride#3187 is merged and I have time to test the new requirements. Changes include:
Set the graphics platform- redundant information that can be found inGraphics > Graphics APISetup and requirements- reworded the beginning and updated requirements.Create a linux game- development on linux is far more different than what it was on that page. The only useful information it contained was about the "remote" feature of game studio, which can be re-added later if needed.Xbox livethat it may be outdatedThis PR should probably be merged right before the next update, as it contains information specific to the unreleased version.
