FWIW, these days Valve tries to solve same problems with their steam runtime[0][1]. Still doesn't seem easy, but looks like almost workable solution.

A multi billion dollar company with massive investments in Linux making an almost workable solution means everyone else is screwed

    Nope. Valve has to deal with whatever binaries clueless developers uploaded over the years which they can't update wheres you only need to leant how to make your one binary portable. Entirely different issues.

    Well, or we could remember the idea of linux… „IP reasons“ shouldn‘t be an obstacle in the first place… lol

    .NET5+ its my choice as a SME with this challenge. I run the same code across every device and only support what MS supports. These days u could likely redo this with a webview and wasm... Let the webview handle the graphics abstraction for you!
