I don't think it can even be called cheating because the discussion was about forward compatibility. Using a container to house old libraries is something completely different in my opinion and I think it defeats the whole point of the word "compatibility" in my argument. Many users would not know how to do this nor want to. Where do you draw the line? CPU emulation?

We can disagree on this and that's fine. I just still don't consider it "highly disingenuous", but maybe a difference of opinion.

I think making hay out of this problem when it's a niche case nothing burger, especially in a thread full of linux hate, is... Call it what ever you want but...

As I said earlier, I wasn't trying to be insulting, you were coming across in a certain way in the context you were posting in.

Linux has always been a DIY operating system, for very good reason. The compatibility decisions you're talking about were made for very good reasons. There's an easy solution, anyone having this problem (SUPER rare for most users) can reach out and use.
