Yeah, but that's because Linux doesn't have a stable ABI, and really everyone does that these days.
Both Mac and Windows just dump a whole bunch of libraries into the install directory.
I think on Flatpak you can update the base platform package and have the applications use that automatically, so there's that.
- bluGill 3y agoLinux has a stable ABI for user land programs. For drivers the ABI is not stable, but drivers are not sandboxed in linux.
- dale_glass 3y agoI didn't mean just the kernel, but the userspace libraries as well. So GNU/Linux or whatever you want to call that. So it's either AppImage/Flatpak/etc or it's building a package per distro.
