Comment on A 12TB Steam “teraleak” spills more than a decade of lost PC gaming historyparent

Surely binary compatibility exists for something puny that just shuffles files?

Yeah, a fully statically linked binary that runs on every kernel would work very well for the simple terminal program use case. It's only things like GUI and GPU acceleration where you need to care at all about existing libraries on the system and even there options for binary compatibility exist.

Even for gui you can use gtk2, it's stable. Will it work?
