If only a huge PC gaming store had solved this problem years ago with a standard runtime environment for Linux games...

...alas it doesn't exist, and if it did, Lemmy would keep complaining about it and instead drooling over another store that doesn't even have an official Linux client.

    it's impossible for that to exist. First you have convince tle linux community toagree to one (1, uno, more than zero but less than two) runtime environment. And then to keep it backwards compatible. Because "you just need to recompile it" doesn't work for this (or ever, really, if you want something to keep working)

    How curious! The fact that it exists seems to contradict your statement.

    And then to keep it backwards compatible

    This sentence makes no sense in the context of how it works.

    Because "you just need to recompile it"

    Not having to do that is the entire point.
