A penny for your thoughts

Being a big Linux fan, I am having a hard time deciding which engine I want to use. Most of the commercial engines are just for Windows.

A couple are Opensource but require extensive experience in C or C++.

I have a programming background but am not sure the project will be successfully if I spend all my time building a toolset especially since the Window Engines already have vast tools at their disposal. BUT, on the other hand, spending several months coding tools for the opensource engines reaps it's own rewards. Someone else can use it later, it might get integrated into the opensource engines, and the fact that I would be contributing to the free movement and giving something back besides just another video game :) So I think I will post a questionnaire on the side and see how many of my readers are in favor of building an opensource video game.
