@nyanide Yes, most windows developers have gotten into the habit of statically linking everything or including all needed .dll's with the binary, which means bloat and none of the benefits of dynamic linking, as getting things to compile on windows in a reasonable amount of time is impossible.

Yes, flatpacks emulate the window soydev behavior of including all the .dll's with the .exe by including all the .so's with the .elf's - even unneeded ones.
