My favourite thing is the people who think Linux has good backwards compatibility, hardware for sure, try running software that hasn't been updated in 10 years

@BrodieOnLinux Software backwards compatibility in Linux is in many ways, frankly shameful.

Inb4 someone mentions containers, yes that's the solution but I'm taking just grabbing something and letting it use your system dependencies

@BrodieOnLinux True enough unless you can find a statically linked version (self-contained but not strictly in a container).At this point Linux is pretty much better at emulating other systems than for natively running its own older software.Microsoft trades having better backwards compatibility by taking longer to follow RFCs that become standards (e.g. mDNS eventually supported in Win 10 without 3rd party s/w) so as not to break older behaviours.

@BrodieOnLinux since you are usualy not getting charged for the upgrade, i don't think this is a big problem.
