I take exception with the choice of wording in "all major operating systems".

If you saw a game marketed as runnable on "all major operating systems", would you think it's deceptive, or at very least a poor choice of wording, if the game really only ran on Windows 7, 8, 10 and 11?

In the open source world, on a site called "Hacker News", "all major operating systems" would usually be thought to mean more than just Mac, Windows and Linux, particularly when it's chosen as a headline.

Also, claims by the author about ARM support are nice, but I don't see any ARM anything, anywhere, so not only is it not "all major operating systems", but it's "just the three most popular OSes, and only then on 64 bit x86".

How about you start by defining what a "major operating system" is, and then point out which by your definition are not included in Mac, Windows, and Linux.
