    Reminds me of the joke that github should just hire malware developers to fix the install process of every random git repo that requires pages of install instructions and an entire book of troubleshooting

    Isn’t this basically the banana cultivation problem of computing? Linux has pretty good genetic diversity with mutations and speciation happening on the regular, MacOS doesn’t have that variety, but is a genetically engineered abomination that’s regularly gene-edited to patch problems out.

    As for Windows, I’d say it’s the Cavendish banana of operating systems.

      I just called Microsoft and their support line confirmed that they are, indeed, a banana.

    Static binaries. You don’t even need to depend on libc. Look at M2-Planet/M2Libc builds if you are easily confused

    Remind me of a time long ago when someone requested my help on setting up a project.I Tried setting up project on my system and there was malicious code that would collect and send data to the attackers, but it failed to read data because it was trying to access the C drive.

    That is a bit out of date. There are professional cyber crime groups now, doing very sophisticated malware.

      Yeah SteamOS is celebrated for its contributions to gaming, but good luck running something that’s not in flathub

        I installed some games from GOG on the steam deck. The hardest part was trying to figure out how to make them show up in steam library. For software that requires modifying the system, you’ll have to jailbreak the steam os. It’s quite straight forward and irc it took me about 30min to enable sudo and install ydotool for autoclicker.

          From my exp, the mojo installer (the GUI installer most GoG games’ Linux versions come with) does not require sudo

      Nah, most things people try to run work no problem.

      It sounds like trying to install dependencies for libraries for R on Linux. 🤮

    They should’ve distributed it as a flatpak, then it could automagically download its own dependencies /j
