i bestow upon thee the gift of READING THE ARTICLE!!!
sorry
anyway rick brewster, the dev of paint.net, used Claude to code the compatibility code for Linux. on one hand i can understand it because Direct2D is a piece of shit but on the other hand i feel like he could’ve gone about this in a different way than slopifying his codebase.

slopifying his codebase. He didn’t. That’s the point. The slop code is a self contained dependency only used for the Linux build and not part of the actual paint.net codebase. His core user group (on Windows) will never get in touch with it. I think everybody, including him, would prefer if there was a working implementation of Direct2D for Wine.
