Hello!
I would like to install Love2D to my Raspberry Pi 400. It is running Raspbian GNU / Linux 10 (buster).
I can see on the home page there is a download section for Linux where I can choose "Ubuntu PPA" or "AppImage x86_64".
Please be aware my computer knowledge, technical jargon and usage of the Raspberry Pi are complete beginner level (long time Windows and Mac user), so I have no idea what to do from here. The Ubuntu link takes me to a page for installing a "PPA", and the AppImage link downloads a file that I need to open with another program, but from here I am completely lost.
Is Love2D actually possible to install to my computer?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Uhm you just need to install it.
Have you ever even installed something on linux at all?
Depending on your WM or browser typing apt:love anywhere is enough. Eg in the browser or file manager.
Or use synaptics or when in terminal type "apt install love".
Debian has Löve in the ARM repo, i just installed that myself not long ago. And i assume Raspian has acces to the stock debian repo so there is no need to get a ppa. Unless you want the bleeding edge version of löve that is, but there is little to gain.

I found a thread about it but last message was 2017 or so... and i couldn't load in the webpage either, though that might be on my end only.

Re: Install Love2D to Raspberry Pi 400
Really. I dont know anything about it. Maybe because it is ported to the raspberry pi?

Re: Install Love2D to Raspberry Pi 400
love has natively supported the Raspberry Pi without special ports since 0.10.0 (2015). Everything should work fine as long as you don't misconfigure dependencies like SDL2.
Re: Install Love2D to Raspberry Pi 400
By any chance, is it even possible to package love as arm appimage?
And if yes, are you going to host arm appimage, as with x86_64, so it would be easy to package game for Raspberry Pi and possible other linux smartphones?
