It’s still weird to look at a 2020 and think that was 5 years ago
Yeah I keep thinking 2020 was like 2, maybe 3, years ago
And Debian Bullseye have that version, so it will affect hardly anyone.
For anyone who might think their glibc might be older than 2.31, you can check with
ldd --versionIf you’re on any distro that has released an update within a span of 5 years, you’re clear.
phew mint makes the cut at 2.39
Me reading the headline: 📈📈📈📉

It says
On August 15th, 2025, Steam will officially stop supporting Linux distributions with a version of glibc older than 2.31.
How did this confusion happen?
“with glibc older than 2.31” ≡ “without glibc 2.31 or newer”
(In case you’re not referencing a misleading post title that’s since been edited.)
It reads fine, but I see why it would confuse you as well.
