Why not make all programs portable?

>>53615566
They are on Mac :^)

>>53615566
Registry changes

but is PortableAppls a botnet?

>>53615566
DRM

>>53615687
By that logic all programs only work on Windows.

Bcause I don't go anywhere.

>>53615566
I already take my home dir / dotfiles with me and work on every computer I go to.

sad but true

>>53615566
do you have any idea what a portable app is and how it is different from a non-portable application ?

>>53615566
Why just carry apps with me when I'm carrying a pendrive with Linux with me.

the future is squashfs containerized applications

>>53616753
Well, on Windows portable programs are not spreading their shit across tons of different folders, aren't they?

theres a lot more to it.
they are statically either statically linked or come with a copy off all the libraries that are used by it which increases the size multiple times.

and there are multiple problem with that (same as with all statically linked applications, thats why no sane person builds them anymore and modern operating systems use dynamic linking)
