You're confusing portability with requirements. I'm aware that a long tail exists. Linux is a big tent for that sort of thing. I think that's great. I also want the freedom to live outside that tent during the times when all I need are the other 85% of use cases, which as I've shown, can be easily achieved by just one person. I don't believe that just because I ship actually portable executables that are able to do e1000/virtio that every hardware manufacturer is going to be kicking down my door eager to get support for their silicon merged. Linux is already doing a great job at that and I think Cosmopolitan is complementary.
