The funniest part is their claim that people were being salty and should chill, at a time when there were almost no comments, and none were salty. Bot?
What’s that got to do with anything? What does account age have to do with anything or are you just unnecessarily flexing to make yourself feel special?
That’s like some 30 year old going up to a 13 year old and flexing because of where they are in life. It’s just…pointless.
Look at it this way: You just entered a clubhouse. Nobody there knows you. You have not yet put any time or work into maintaining the club or into establishing your credentials and social status among the members. After entering, you immediately make a controversial (and arguably badly-researched) statement.
Would you not expect to be much less likely to get away with a stunt like this than a long-established club member?
It’s not some special club mate, and I definitely never said you needed my permission, I have no idea what you’re going on about. It’s literally just down to “this is likely a troll account because it’s new”. People who say inflammatory garbage and get themselves banned from communities go make more accounts to get around the bans. Considering how unpleasant you’ve continued to be, I’m leaning pretty heavily towards you being such a person. That’s kind of the entire reason my client, Voyager (and many other clients) shows me the age of an account when it’s younger than 30 days.
They’ve never promised that, because that would be an absurd promise to make. This is no different from Valve dropping support for older versions of Windows, which they have also done.
That glibc version might not be that old but they do this most likely because of security reasons. There will be a time when Valve will drop 32-bit support entirely as well. Also, you shouldn’t use old distros because of the same reason. Currently glibc v2.31 is on Debian Bullseye which is the old-stable version and Valve still supports it. Technically there is no problem with that announcement.

You: *2 day old account*
Also you: *comes into linux gaming community and starts insulting everyone*
You’re definitely the pinnacle of chill mate :)

You, umm, got a source for that? Because that sounds like an insane promise to make.
Dudes not worth my time to look this up for sure, but I’m fairly certain the statement was they’d support any Linux distro.
OK… You do understand the difference between distribution and version, right?
You need to have a 5 year old distribution with no updates whatsoever to be at risk of losing Steam.
So, what exactly is the problem here?
I’m on your side dude, I was saying chucklenuts up above was confused.
Just get an OS that doesn’t have versions. Ezpz fix.
TempleOS?

Wow. This might be the most down voted comment I’ve ever seen on lemmy.
It is a sight to behold
