After working with linux drivers for far too long, I’ve developed some strong opinions on the so-called “APIs” they implement.

      Some super old version of GIMP will run on both XP and Win11.

      I had to modify and recompile my laptop’s Broadcom WLAN driver for it to run on the latest kernel.

      Fight me 🤪

          None beyond basic drivers tbh, it was a tongue-in-cheek joke just to have some fun.

          I thought the big flaw in my argument (comparing the Linux kernel ABI to the Win32 API) was obvious ☹️
