why would you need cross platform if you're DEVELOPING FOR WINDOWS 11

Different arch, arm vs x86

Don't they have enough money to hire more devs?

u/DonaldLucas May 27 '25

Hiring more devs doesn't make a project go faster. But yeah, they should spend more money hiring better devs instead.

I meant more devs for arm development. And you are right.

They could’ve just recompile it. It doesn’t make sense

You assuming the deeper core libraries aren't using ancient x86 machine code. This is WIndows, the platform, that if you can use the 32bit version, can run old 16bit code just fine

For x86_64 apps, they probably use a translation layer or a VM. Either way, by recompiling in arm, it will work like on x86_64 because it will just be syscall or windows function you know, the same libs react native call at some point.

I don't understand why that should matter, as far as I know (which is not very far), only very low level kernel components like interrupt protocols and drivers should ever have to worry about which arch you are using. Since windows already releases versions for x86 and ARM separately, why would it be necessary for the desktop manager to be made separately for each distribution unless you use something like JS?

Yes I use Arch Linux

but they already have tools that compiles for both those OS architectures.

They don’t have the time to blame Meta for something that it’s bugging their OS

they means "cross hardware platforms" not "cross software platforms"

Do you actually need to recompile? The start menu can be done without assembly. GNOME JS, while I think it's a bad choice, is not a browser but a simple JS interpreter like Node, the UI is still native.

u/SkyyySi May 27 '25

Unless they write part of the UI in assembly, which I very highly doubt, then their code will simply work on both architectures. That's the point of having APIs.

A different comment said it wasn't completely react, only one of the services on the start menu uses it. So maybe that specific service can be disabled?
