Oof, that slid right past me. I think I skimmed some of the parts the article told me it was ok to skim if I wanted to.

Well, history being that '32 bit windows executable' ended up being one of the most popular and widespread platforms that had any kind of longevity because unlike Apple which makes sport of breaking legacy applications, and for all of their many faults, Microsoft caters to business who actually want a stable platform. Stable enough that Linux can target it for compatibility too!

If Microsoft decides to go the way of Apple, it's going to trash the Linux gaming ecosystem too unfortunately. I'm little worried that WINE has lead to a kind of complacency where we don't ask for native anything because the compatibility layer is so good. I thought the Surface and it's weird ARM chip was a sign that we were getting rugged, but it looks like not yet.

I was wasn't expecting a serious treatment of this very silly idea, my mistake. I submit that it would cause enough difficult to diagnose bugs while just messing with it that you would never get into 'but are the builds reproducible' territory.

There was some remarkably juicy drama i saw on suckless personal pages (mostly manifestos) once but hell if I can find it now.
