Im wanting to create a game and have been doing some stuff with SDL2. What libraries do you guys recommend? Is there any that are better? GLFW? GLUT? SDL? For a little context it will be a desktop game. More than that hasnt really been figured out as i just wanna build and see where it goes.

One library I've become very fond of using is Raylib. It has a ridiculously simple interface. If you just want to program a game and don't want/need the details of OpenGL/Vulkan/DirectX (which I'd suggest you do at some point anyways), then It'd be my pick.
