Fuck it. I'm just going to buy a used Windows laptop to compile a Windows port of my game.
Though ideally, I would like to use something either with Windows 7, 8, or maybe even 10 (just to know that it works on older versions of Windows), but every used laptop I come across has Windows 11 on it. Though this is to be expected when Microsoft made upgrading to the next Windows free.
@xianc78 Just get an iso from rutracker and shove it in a virtual machine
