| 11:19a | Apparently other too notice the utter retardness of the Unix way... Anon provided a link: https://ludditus.com/2024/05/27/epic-li >idiotic design decision is to compile all the packages for a fixed version of the system libraries, and to never have them updated during the lifetime of a point-release distro. (There are exceptions, but that’s the rule. Remember, Microsoft always ships several versions of the C runtime library, which even GCC links against. So a program from 90ies could still work on Windows 11, if not for Microsoft starting to damage compatibility on purpose, like disabling support for 16bit apps. Somehow static complication was a never a thing for Linux. Maybe because the Linux kernel ABI is unstable and needlessly convoluted? After all they are now rewriting the kernel in Rust.
