From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Just got some glibc updates in Arch yesterday. I wonder if they contain fixes for this.

Thanks! Not just for notifying about the fix but also showing me where package revisions are built from! I just love the transparency of Arch.

Arch is a meme, but it is honestly really cool too.

Makes me wonder. LMDE got a glibc update too and Mint is very much not leading edge when it comes to non-critical updates.

Case in point, at roughly the same time as the glibc update, we (LMDE users) were upgraded to the latest Thunderbird, 115.3.1, four or five days after that sub-version came out. That's the sort of lag we generally see. (115.x was a bit of a surprise too as we've been on 102.x, but that's not strictly relevant here.)
