Additional comments

I'd start digging into this, but fear it would quickly need variants and other exciting things with which I haven't worked much.

There are excellent docs for building from source with scons, and specifically in the linux case, detailed instructions on how to use system libraries... and it can even be built for WASM.

There are some interesting opportunities possible for conda-forge-delivered packages acting as a single way to provision compiler-compatible versions of the tool/editor baseline and tools like godot-rust and other language bindings.

Potentially, using a single-file tool like pixi or micromamba could act as a package manager for user-space assets (which are intentionally left undefined, and appear to only partially be served by prior art). This side of the house might end up being better served by a dedicated, downstream godot-forge channel or something, but moot until getting the core editor and engine is possible.
