I’ll take a program that isn’t getting updates anymore or simply wasnt working in my modified environment using slightly more ram and storage over it not working at all.

I have firsthand experience with videogames made for one flavor of Linux not working on my machine due to dependency hell.

This is a good reason for static linking. All the dependencies are built into the binary, meaning it is more portable and future proof.

We don’t need flatpak for this!

Linus already has a backup. Its Greg Kroah-Hartman.
