    Yes but most people aren’t doing this unless they are insane and finding these libraries is borderline impossible and I personally in my search have found a bunch of dead links for them. So no Linux isn’t backwards compatible to me and never will be backwards compatible because it fundamentally can’t be because even libc and it’s changes have broken stuff in the past with some Steam Linux native games I was trying to run.

      Does updating from a non-LTS version of a OS what is no longer supported, to the current LTS count?

      I didn’t realise it wasn’t LTS at the time, only when I wanted to update to the next LTS did I realise what I had done. Let me tell you, it wasn’t an easy fix, I had to write the StackOverflow answer myself.
