Additional Context

The issue persists on all modern releases of Debian and Ubuntu, not just "deprecated" distros. The Gupaxx software should be compatible with the most modern version of the most popular Linux distro. The wording on the README should be updated to accurately reflect that the software is refusing to support the most modern version of the most popular Linux distro rather than simply stating that "deprecated" distros are not supported.

Solution

To resolve the issue, you can try the following solutions:

Update the Gupaxx software: Update the Gupaxx software to the latest version, which may include a fix for the glibc version issue.
Install a compatible glibc version: Install a compatible glibc version on your system, which may require compiling the software from source.
Use a different Linux distribution: Use a different Linux distribution that is compatible with the Gupaxx software, such as Fedora 40.
