Query: “What are the most common pain points with Linux for developers in 2025?”4/5/2026

glibc 2.35 (feb 2022) shipped a new dependency sorter or whatever. It is (at the time of writing) extremely buggy causing anything from angry valgrind, assert aborts, erroneous failing library loading behavior, to straight segfaults. All in ld.so.
