> Part of me thinks the solution to some of these trenchant apps is to make a FUSE pass through filesystem driver that has silent redirects.

LD-preload-open* can be used for this, but it has some potential problems: https://github.com/fritzw/ld-preload-open/tree/master#potent...

Huge shout out to the list of issues ld-preload-open documents. Really great to have gathered such a laundry list of topics, really expands the technical knowledge of the audience by showing off a lot of interesting interaction points between app & os.

Not supporting any "at" variants (like openat) is a pretty big one! I bet a lot of these could be tackled with a lot of work to track state, but some like symlinks not working well since they're handled at the OS level seem hard to imagine overcoming.

FUSE would definitely have some issues too, but I think a lot would go away.
