It is though. Go ahead and find me any distribution of Linux on which this binary of the Zig compiler does not work:
https://ziglang.org/download/0.13.0/zig-linux-x86_64-0.13.0.tar.xz https://ziglang.org/download/0.13.0/zig-linux-x86_64-0.13.0....
You can't, because it's a static executable whose only runtime dependencies are a file system.
And if kernel devs would bless us with a stable graphics ABI, then we could do this for games, too. Unfortunately, the way drivers work currently relies on dynamic linking in a way that drags in a dependency on differences in distributions, which is completely unnecessary and maddening.
