7z files don't have such structure, and therefore they don't allow that trick. That's why a fused .7z doesn't work. 7z works in isolation because it's supported by PhysFS, and fused zips work because PhysFS is able to see the zipfile contents without much effort, but as far as I know, Löve only supports zipfiles officially, and counts on this feature of zipfiles to support fused executables.
Linux is not Gentoo, even if Gentoo is Linux. Gentoo is a distribution famous for recompiling most software with optimizations specific for your machine. About every other Linux distribution (Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, SUSE, ...) provides precompiled binaries.xX_pokeman2003_Xx wrote: ↑Thu Jan 06, 2022 10:49 pm "Optimizations exclusive to that machine" refers to a common Linux practice to compile binaries that specifically work with your exact machine. If you actually read what you quoted, I even specified Linux. This is why Linux does not have portable executables out of the box, unlike Windows, and hence why I'm targetting Windows over Linux, as I don't like using most non-CLI Linux distros, and I'm really worried about how insecure my code is normally, let alone when people infinitely smarter than I am get ahold of my code.
