I want to make 2D games as a hobby. But I've noticed that easy engines like Gamemaker have their own meme little languages. Is there a popular and simple 2D language that uses an actual programming language like Python or something?
Something a little different, you could try https://adamslair.github.io/duality/ a game engine built using c#. Has a visual editor too.

Announcing Masonry 0.1, and my vision for Rust UI
Related to your vision, you should definitely take a look at osu!framework. It's an open-source C# game engine, focused on 2D rendering and UIs. You can see the biggest example of it being used is, of course, osu! itself (osu!lazer, next iteration of osu!). It is so good that it has become my standard in terms of visual design and UI features.
- How exactly does osu! sync the game to the audio?
- Ask HN: Examples of Top C# Code?

Frui: a developer-friendly framework for building user interfaces in Rust
An API I particularly like for this is how osu!framework does it.

I am thinking of going to Linux with Windows 11 on the way
Almost unrelated, but for game development (in C#), you might wanna look into the osu!framework, if at least just out of curiosity. It is a free and open-source game engine developed by peppy, the developer of osu!. You would also be able to develop on Linux (where programming tools really shine if you ask me) using VSCode and have neat things like visual tests and other stuff I haven't looked into.

Is there a way to use touchpad with osu!lazer?
it seems that despite using SDL, if you have "raw input" checked, it still uses the osuTK mouse input handler (https://github.com/ppy/osu-framework/blob/b97c26a684dc8ded5a349d24f8664a4f4b8c42a4/osu.Framework/Platform/DesktopGameHost.cs#L133, that's good)

Please recommend a Cross-Platform Game Library
My Favourite Graphics Engine at the moment is defnitly osu.Framework, you can find it here: https://github.com/ppy/osu-framework It can compile to .NET 5 and .NET 5 is cross platform now and the osu-framework makes smooth looking UIs with fancy transitions really really easy, it has some Audio Stuff in there aswell if you are looking to do something like that
What are some alternatives?
