   @katnjiapus @untsuki the funniest thing about "Linux software that runs everywhere" is the Alpine, which doesn't even use glibc to begin with.
   
   On Alpine you at least can install Flatpak. You want AppImages? GTFO.

     @a1ba @katnjiapus @untsuki One I also frequently get about AppImage here is missing a random system library, it's really just like a self-executable deb/rpm.

     @a1ba @katnjiapus @untsuki For example here due to me not having ATK (an optional component of GTK).

     $ UHK.Agent.AppImage /tmp/.mount_UHK.AgKdgoK6/uhk-agent: error while loading shared libraries: libatk-bridge-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

     @lanodan @katnjiapus @untsuki the part from website about "without the need to get it 'into' a distribution and without having to build for gazillions of different distributions" is just so wrong.
     
     Because you have to account for ALL distros, ALL at once.

     @a1ba @katnjiapus @untsuki Yeah, pretty sure I'll replace it with a keyboard running QMK at some point, but money.

     I stick to distributing source because that way it truly works everywhere.
     (And glibc… well I almost got rid of it entirely, one machine left)

     @untsuki @katnjiapus I wonder if system libraries like GL/Vulkan can be loaded into separate linkmap through glibc-specific dlmopen call. So they won't conflict with provided libraries.
     
     @lanodan what do you think?

     @a1ba @lanodan @katnjiapus
     
     Interesting fact:
     
     I tried packaging as AppImage using tool to convert nix packages into ones.
     
     This idea was killed by the same issue nix itself has outside of nixos - OpenGL/Vulkan drivers that cannot be used as usual isolated nix dependencies, and you need separate utility to force usage of system libraries on executables from nix repositories.
     
     Which I guess confirms that AppImage is just an archive with whatever you put into it.

     @lanodan @katnjiapus @untsuki that's it, gonna package compiler instead, every run it recompiles the program with profile to make CPU go faster.
