>>1373337>ship all of them with your software. That's literally the standard practice on every sane OS,No, absolutely not the case.
Run Windows 9x's notepad.exe on 11. Observe how:
- the binary is 56kb
- it has 11's rounded corners when you run it
- when you open a file, you get 11's file picker
None of this would be the case if 200MB+ of windows 9x were statically linked into notepad.exe. You can't just "ship the entire OS bro", this is why Docker, Flatpack, etc. are a thing.
>I'd use electronThat's not even software for linux, that's a website in a zip, which relies on the users having Chrome for it to use as a substitute operating system. This is exactly what the JRE was in the 2000's, everything moves in cycles, Electron is zoomer Java.
