Here is all the junk that a tiny indie pixel game has to do just to think about building a Linux executable: https://utopixel.games/en/blog/building-outer-wonders-for-linux/ … Windows used to be much better, but their modern spirit of embracing Linux seems to lead them to add similar problems to Windows.

The kernel maintains full backwards compatibility. It is pretty much the only hard rule that Linus imposes.

Syscalls are stable on Linux though. And more ergonomic than libc anyway. Zig doesn't link libc by default and implement their standard library in top of syscalls. I generally didn't see to much difference in effort removing libc from either windows or Linux.

i do something similar on windows to speed up build times. i only use the c runtime functions that are implemented as compiler intrinsics like memcpy etc.
