      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.)

          I only mentioned the lag to make the point that if we’re getting an update at the same time as Arch that maybe it was an important one.

          Anyone on Mint who finds themselves trying to leap ahead of the default release schedule might want to at least sniff around a different distro or two.

          That said, Flatpaks with later versions are also often available in the provided Software Manager (basically an app store), so that’s a place to look before jumping ship. Hard to tell now, but I think 115 was the Flatpak option while the, uh, default default was 102.
