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.

I think dll/so made more sense when computers had storage and ram that were measured in megabytes instead of gigabytes. sucks that we still end up stuck with the system

Imaging how much more programmable computers would be if they didn’t have operating systems!

Dear mr. Blow i askd carmack on a tweet about a better/simpler language to programe smooth working games, and he replayd with (jai) and said that u are "the" man. I checkd JAI and i must say even writing a whole game in binary would be easier. Couldnt u make it a little easier?

I think the culprits are high fragmentation among distros, and GNU's tendency to add hidden complexity for no good reason. Theoretically, a .so file is just a dictionary from symbols to text content, right? It's just that there are millions of lines of bad code surrounding them.

All Linux games from this day forward shall be wrapped with golang, statically linked with all dependencies, shipped as single executable files

Wait no I take that back from now on all Linux games shipped as docker containers

I feel like we should have moved past worrying about the idea of 'files' by now. We spend too much time on the irrelevant.

Linux is not only a desktop operating system, but is also being used in embedded systems where storage can be an issue. That being said, there could be distros that take a different approach to software packaging.
