From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

That's true but on Windows it's mostly just clicking install on everything on ninite. Linux libraries sometimes can't even install on a newer kernel.
I can usually get old Windows programs to run on newer Windows versions. On Linux I rarely had that sucess.
i’m curious where you run into this. i’ve never had this issue in 10 years of using Linux, most of which being on Arch with the latest kernel
Trying to do something like run ROS on anything but the Ubuntu distro it was made for.
Flashing an embedded board which requires Ubuntu 20.04 and didn't accept me using 22.04
Some more stuff too but I've forgotten
oh i see. embedded systems makes sense. i wouldn’t even try to go beyond the factory recommendation for systems like that. maybe for fun. likely there are kernel modifications or modules that are required for those systems.
