Weird Way Of Making Things Work

Weird Way Of Making Things Work
Oh, the absolute AUDACITY of this code! Someone out here literally checking if they're running on Windows and then just... *casually lying to the entire application* by setting a fake environment variable claiming it's Linux. It's like showing up to a costume party as yourself but telling everyone you're someone else. The sheer chaos energy of "my code only works on Linux but I'm stuck on Windows, so I'll just... gaslight my own program into thinking it's Linux" is truly unmatched. Does it work? Maybe. Should it work? Absolutely not. Will it cause mysterious bugs six months from now that make future developers question their career choices? Oh, you BET it will. This is the programming equivalent of duct tape and prayers, and honestly? Sometimes that's exactly what ships products.
