Convert Linux to Windows

1. Godot

   1 2,786 98,788 10.0 C++

   Godot Engine – Multi-platform 2D and 3D game engine

   

   I don’t think the support depends on distros much, I think the main variable is hardware. If you have a desktop PC bought in the last ~5 years the support should be OK, for the hardware older than that the support is not guaranteed. GeForce GT 730 (launched in 2014) doesn’t support Vulkan, Intel only supports Vulkan on Windows starting from Skylake launched in 2015.

   Then there’re quality issues. If you search internets for “Windows Vulkan issue” you’ll find many end users with crashing games, game developers with crashing game engines https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/100807 recommendations to update drivers or disable some Vulkan layers in registry, etc.

   On Windows, Vulkan is simply not as reliable as D3D. The reasons include market share, D3D being a requirement to render the desktop, D3D runtime being a part of the OS supported by Microsoft (Vulkan relies solely on GPU vendors), and D3D being older (first version of VK spec released in 2016, D3D11 is from 2009).

   Another thing, on Linux, the situation with Vulkan support is less than ideal for mobile and embedded systems. Some embedded ARM SoCs only support GLES 3.1 (which BTW is not too far from D3D 11.0 feature-wise) but not Vulkan.

3. notepad-plus-plus

   2 340 25,110 9.7 C++

   Notepad++ official repository

   

   https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-app-authors/requirements#l... , but I don't buy it in the general case because windows isn't synonymous with proprietary isn't synonymous with non-redistributable licenses. Sure, I doubt there's a legal way to ship Microsoft Office on flathub, but there are plenty of shareware programs that I think would be fine (IANAL, ofc) right up to FOSS that happens to target Windows. For instance, Notepad++ is GPLv3 and WINE platinum rating; why shouldn't it be on flathub?

   This repository builds GNU Emacs from git on Travis CI and packages it as an AppImage.

   

   I hit quirks with glib semi-regularly (~1/year)

   For example, recently I tried to run Emacs' Appimage and it has a glib issue
