I think the dependencies might actually be a problem for the “one binary fits all” solution. For a simple binary the user is responsible for the external dependencies. If by any chance you’re using Arch, there a package in the AUR.

That’s actually not a bad idea. There are a few downsides to this like the binary being quite big compared to the classical “one binary per architecture” style. I’ll give it a though. The docker image is pretty small btw ;).

Sorry for the double response… I got an error the first time I hit Submit.

My favorite feature of good old reddit (rip)! Makes me feel right at home.

This is the way! There’s a catch with swap files on encrypted disks and hibernation but that’s quite a special case. Edit: forgot to mention zswap, the compressed version of swap.
