Compatibility. I am sorry but Linux and compatibility is like oil and water. I can create a Windows binary and it works on Windows 7, 10, 11 no problem. On Linux I need to pack it in different formats for different distros - AppImage, Snap, Deb, Rpm, ... and then solve compatibility issues between different versions of glibc in different versions of Linux. So much work for so little gain.
- trog 2y agoI have a Windows binary I compiled I think in 1997 or 1998 and the same binary still works fine on my PC today.
