Windows 10 Taskbar

Name: Anonymous 2018-03-11 7:41

It has been more than 20 years since Windows 95, and taksbar still doesn't function properly:

It is like I'm using some crappy Linux, developed by hobbyists. And I remember pretty clearly that Windows XP had properly working taskbar. So why it is so broken now? Have Microsoft decided to turn their OS into Linux? Guess it is finally the year of Linux desktop!

If you choose to install proprietary games without source code, that's your own business. If you suddenly decide that you need to modify that very same proprietary game without source code, that's pure stupidity if your goal is to make practical modifications to the game. If your idea of fun is reversing compiled software (without source code) to make modifications to it, I'm not going to stop you. However, you cannot complain that you can't practically fix problems when you choose to put yourself into this situation. Explicit game modification support is no better. The amount of modifcation you can do is limited by the quality of the public API that exposes the game internals.

The smart way to live is to demand freedom in the software you choose. If your beloved game isn't free software, the smart way to live is to recreate the engine as free software.

GOG is an exception, not the rule. GOG has special privileges to do what they do. They modify binaries on a superficial basis because they won't have access to source code. They modify games with source code but they are explicitly blessed to do this. Users are forbidden to do what GOG are blessed to do.
