      It’s still weird to look at a 2020 and think that was 5 years ago

    It says

    On August 15th, 2025, Steam will officially stop supporting Linux distributions with a version of glibc older than 2.31.

    How did this confusion happen?

      “with glibc older than 2.31” ≡ “without glibc 2.31 or newer”

      (In case you’re not referencing a misleading post title that’s since been edited.)

      It reads fine, but I see why it would confuse you as well.
