"Win32 is the stable Linux ABI" is, incredibly, a concept that predates both Win32 and Linux
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_Programming_Interface_for_Windows
@hikari doesn't look like it actually predates Linux, since WABI was announced in 1993 and Linux came out in 1991. but stilll, incredible
@yujiri the history section on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wabi_(software) mentions 1990 as the earliest date!
@hikari oh interesting, the other article made it sound like it started in 1993
