One example: Descent2 XXL open source game engine that can run the classic game if you have the levels of Descent 1 and 2. In Windows, it works just as it worked in Windows XP, 7 and so on. Many years after, it still runs. In Linux, any distro not 10 years old, it is basically impossible to make it compile. No binaries can be found that work in any Ubuntu or Red Hat that people actually use in 2022. Whoever said static linking is bad never thought about these scenarios. That's why both Rust and Go are using static linking. The future of not-ridiculously-slow software is going to be statically linked. In a modern computer with modern memory, we should be using the RAM for static linked executables instead of bloated Electron runtimes.
