In reply to Fuseteam. now a year later I know why Linux doesn't provide a stable ABI, and the supported way to get the benefits from it boils down to releasing driver source code by incorporating that code into the kernel. That said the way Microsoft got wsl2 work involved some lightweight virtual machinery, and the same people involved are also working on a somewhat reverse system - winmin.

I will like to see that. It’s Windows UI over virtually any other UI for me, honestly.

the more i read about the linux kernel, the more i’m convinced of it,
the real reason why the year of the linux desktop has yet to arrive is not the lack of popular, by the masses standard, software or driver problems or even newer hardware support, tho we are getting closer with latter two.
Instead it is a lack of a stable ABI, which is also the reason why android kernels never get updated.

As for why the linux kernel has no stable ABI, i have no idea but ironically a player like microsoft might be able contribute to one, considering that’s the one thing they did do right, even if the rest is bloated mess
tho that bloated mess is also a result of rigorous backwards compatibility
also considering that microsoft joined the open inventions network, the linux foundation aaand soon is shipping an full linux kernel along side the existing kernel…………. We will be in for a big wave
whether that will be the end of this civilisation or the year of linux desktop through gnu/linux/windows, or rather Glindows, remains to be seen

In reply to Yuri Budilov.

Both of those are, actually, atrocious..:) && KDE is, just, pure bloatware, meh; perhaps worth mentioning, even two years later! ;$
