Btw, absolutely insane that it's 2026, and Linux cannot do the most defining OS thing - that is, provide a standardized environment to run binaries against.
All solutions to this problem are hacky, complex and controversal and highly fragmented, where this should be BASIC functionality
- okanat 2mo agoIt's not insane. Many people who were in the GNU organisation wanted the OS to be as hostile against binaries as possible to prevent people distributing proprietary software with GNU. That GNU became the userspace layer. It isn't that this is 2026 and it was a bug that hasn't been fixed since. The userspace of GNU is designed against what you consider as basic functionality.
