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*.
gollark: The AUR (btw I use arch) contains a *lot* of stuff, and if it doesn't I can sometimes wrangle a program into compiling from source from their github or whatever.
