gollark: What with WebAssembly, WebGL, and all the various web-whatever standards for interacting with native stuff.
gollark: The web platform and all its excessive features might actually be helpful for that, since you can probably get regular native-application-like behavior in a browser regardless of OS.
gollark: Windows: "Universal" Windows Platform, Google: Chrome OS/Android apps, Apple: their Mac app store thingy.
gollark: Software support? Probably. It doesn't help that each OS vendor is trying to lock you into their walled garden now.
gollark: Arch is rolling release, and I think any breaking of the package manager would also likely mess up everything else *anyway*.
