Relevant to SteamOS and open-platform gaming, it proposes a different paradigm for Linux-based distributions and operating systems, one that could address compatibility issues on alternative platforms that Windows users often take for granted.

EDIT: added a QnA section that tries to answer some of the questions posed here.

    This isn’t a forum for throwing quick witted gotchas. I’m trying to have a constructive discussion. at any case, it’s because I’m working to build an open platform with proper backward compatibility, so please engage seriously rather than trolling.

      I’m working to build an open platform…

      My bad, why didn’t you link your repo from the start? Then we could have a productive discussion about your design docs and the initial code for your new OS.

          I read every word of your screed. You are advocating for an Easy Button. You don’t have any details how it will work or why, you just want everyone else to change how they do things to your vague and unspecified plan for an Easy Button.

            The purpose of the article was never to explain the exact operation in detail. It isn’t a blueprint; it’s an advocacy paper. Please don’t read more into my words than I intended. I’m not asking anyone to change anything. I’m inviting people to contribute ideas and help build this project voluntarily, according to their own interests and preferences. Clearly, this isn’t for you.

      This also isn’t a forum for driving engagement to your fucking Reddit post.
