I mean, the Steam Linux Runtime alleviates this quite a bit for games at least; my desktop's somewhat exotic, but I haven't had any issues running Linux-native games through Steam. e.g. Chrome, Mathematica, and Zoom have all been easy to install too, the most I've had to tweak was replacing some of Zoom's bundled libraries in a previous version. I agree for the general case, though; I'm hoping AppImage makes headway here; I'm not sure how it works with libGL, libEGL, etc., but my understanding is that for most libraries, it moves the "compatibility boundary" to the kernel's ABI. (I guess for libGL and friends, the use of glGetProcAddress etc shrink the compatibility boundary a bit too.) |
