| These aren’t always separate. Some distos might try to support multiple versions of a library. That could require installing it to different prefixes instead of the default. Thus, the build system will have to comprehend that. |

| ▲ | justinrubek 3 days ago | parent [-] | | There are way more servers running linux than there are macos installs. And wsl2 is linux. | | |
| ▲ | forrestthewoods 3 days ago | parent [-] | | Number of servers isn’t the right metric imho. Literally all code I write runs on Windows, macOS, Android, and Linux. In roughly that order of priority. No I do not and will not use WSL2, it’s an abomination. |
