Its like the Epic Games Store supporting Linux, or [any website] supporting dark mode. You'd think its an easy to implement bare minimum that everyone asks for, but its like pulling teeth to actually get it done.
- mitxela 7d agoLinux is basically impossible to support. Valve pulled it off by shipping a complete copy of Ubuntu 12.02 with Steam.
- grim_io 7d agoWhere does Valve use Ubuntu? SteamOS is Arch.

In any case I don't see how this is materially different from Windows where it's the norm for every game to ship its own libraries and install various redistributables to function.
- mitxela 7d agoOn Windows those libraries are part of the application package. On Linux they're supposedly part of the OS, they're designed to be part of the OS and the loader is trying to get them from the OS, but is redirected to get them from the wrapper layer provided by the store (neither the application nor the OS!) instead.

At least with dark mode, you can ignore most web developers and get a browser extension to make everything dark, then only webmasters who don't follow standards gets it wrong.
