The statement "Linux does not have a stable userland ABI/API" is about the kernel. If you are talking about glibc you are already in the Linux OS/GNU Linux (whatever it is called) domain. I think I correctly interpreted Linus when he talked about the kernel API/ABI facing the user (developer of application). A lot of trouble you are going to get maintaining builds are due to poor tooling, not linux. But we are getting into semantics here. At the end of the day, I think that if you are careful with what you are doing and think a little before choosing your tools and writing code, you should get very good mileage out of your linux binaries. I don't know enough about windows to comment on its stability but I very much doubt I could just slide my original Quake CD or 3DS max 4 install into Windows 10. But I might be wrong! |
