It's such an absolute state of Troonix, the only stable API/ABI/API+ABI runs on a shitty HLE emulator.

Try this experiment on windows
1. create a text file and spam bullshit in it
2. rename it from .txt to .exe
3. double click it
It won't execute, windows will be unable to run it.

Had this issue with Batman Arkham Knight recently. Apparently it's not too uncommon with games older than current gen.

It's impossible to package software on Linux so my company bundles a full install of wine with our programs.

I look forward to WINE becoming the standard target API for all desktop software in the future.
I am excited for the day people have to install WINE on Windows to run their programs

True. It's the Linux desktop that's incredibly bad.
Why did nobody make a single simple desktop API and then use funds to force it down screaming freetard's throats by bribing companies?
Now you're getting Win32 forever

1. Docker is far more expansive than a packaging solution. It's a platform intended to virtualize, containerize, and orchestrate entire OSes, sets of interconnected services, development stacks, and so on and so forth. It does not really fit into this "discussion" (nor would Podman or Buildah).

2. Flatpak and Snap work just great, though they are — at the end of the day — package managers, resting atop of Linux distributions which already posses perfectly functional package managers of their own. This renders them very gay, and a nigger, respectively.

3. AppImage is obviously superior to both of the aforementioned technologies, especially from a user perspective — which should be the default perspective for a developer producing software meant to be used by other people — but it is what it is. Like me, many other people opt for AppImage when presented with situations that require software which is unavailable via repositories for the particular distribution I am using.

You probably meant to say something like this:
>It's impossible to port Windows software over to Linux without expenditures of money and time that exceed the stated limits of my overlords.
Though there is always a good chance that you meant something more like this:
>It's impossible to port Windows software over to Linux without doing a considerable amount of reading and work, instead of gooning around, playing video games, and eating candy.
Either way, FTFY.

I've had issues running a game on windows too just like that. Haven't tried it in Linux yet, but I expect that it'll work.

We're halfway there. We already have users running DXVK on Windows because it gives better performance and fixes bugs.
