To check which version of glibc you have, run ldd --version in the terminal.

I'm curious, would running the Flatpak version of Steam "fix" this by providing its own glibc?

You know, for the people that want to stay on an old glibc yet are also comfortable with using Flatpak.

Yes, but which OS is still running glibc < 2.31?

[-] Psyhackological@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 month ago

Almost Linux Mint Debian (2.32)

Debian Trixie 2.41-7 Debian stable 2.36-9

I think they are preparing their next edition soon.
