Anything else you feel useful to add?
I just updated to ubuntu 24.04 and was trying to use ebiten from a tutorial, but previous tries of ebiten games/app were doing OK in my ubuntu 20.04 a few months back.
So maybe the new way to handle /dev/input in ubuntu has changed, and maybe it doesn't allow to use inotfy for checking for inputs anymore?
I try to bisect to previous version of ebiten which could work. But even v2.0.0 doesn't work.
