I'm sad to see that Windows is not an officially supported target. This doesn't feel like the kind of project that anything gains from assuming POSIX, yet a lot of software is written this way. I'd love to take advantage of asdf, nvm, ranger, and now Nyxt!
- dijit 6y agoThis is going to sound flippant (because, it is, and I hate myself for saying this); But POSIX users would love games! It’s just such a low priority because it would be a very low percentage of total users. I could add that my own experience of supporting developer workflows on Windows/MacOS and Linux is about 3x more complicated than it needs to be because of Windows. :(
- Ambrevar 6y agoNyxt does not assume POSIX, in fact it is completely independent of any POSIX-ness. It has been reported to run on Windows via WSL and also without it, but it needs much more work because WebKitGTK is not trivial to get to run on Windows. Contributions are welcome!
