Update/Upgrade questions Xubuntu
Good evening
Thank You for help.

Linux is so flexible almost nothing is impossible. Some things are so
impracticable to do the merits of the acts are questionable. That
doesn't stop some of us from doing them anyways, just because we want
to, and can. Once I spent 3 weeks getting KDE to run on Slackware
because I didn't want to run Red Hat. If all anyone considers is running
KDE then I wasted my time, because I could have installed Red Hat in 10
minutes and ran KDE. I learned a lot of other things in the process of
getting KDE to work on Slackware though.

Thank You. But this is not a job for a Newbie, isnt it?
The whole story of why KDE didn't work on Slackware then is complicated
and not useful information today. Briefly Slackware did not support the
then new GLIBC2 but KDE needed that in order to work. Which libc a
system uses is kind of like what blood type an organism is, different
versions are not usually compatible without a lot of work. To this day I
know of no more effective way of completely trashing a system than
breaking it's libc in fact. Every binary executable is linked to libc
This should show how critical libc is. I picked less because it is a
common, and simple binary executable

When You did it, did Your system run or did not Your system run. Was the
OS destoyed or could You use it but with problems?
Sorry
I could not understand this:

We still use GLIBC2 to this day. A long time ago we used LIBC5 though.

Sorry
I could not understand this.

I don't know how much sense any of this makes, I just got out of the
hospital after having had some emergency surgery done. I'm sorry if this
doesn't make much sense I'm on pretty powerful pain meds. Anyhow happy
new years.
I wish You good health:
