I got me an Acer Chromebook (Acer Chromebook CB314-1H-C2KX 14) for 129 EUR on Prime Day this year. I used it for developing a game app, teaching my daughter programming over the summer holidays. The machine did pretty well for this purpose, running all the applications we required decently. Even Blender runs and can be used for simple tasks but I wouldn't want to work with such a heavy app nine to five on the little machine. Godot for a 2D game is absolutely fine though, we haven't used 3D much but that was OK too. A nice thing was, that we could open and analyze competing Android games on the same machine. We couldn't have done this on a pure Linux machine. I'd say Chrome Books are a very good fit for your stated requirements if you can live with the privacy implications of owning a Google device.
