Root access vulnerability in glibc library impacts many Linux distros
Qualys researchers discovered a root access flaw, tracked as CVE-2023-6246, in GNU Library C (glibc) affecting multiple Linux distributions.

Yikes.
I'd switch to musl on all of my boxes if it weren't that nearly all precompiled software (closed source, games mainly) are compiled against glibc.
Just use flatpak and podman, in a punch you can proot into a different system / zfs data set / btrfs sublime
So this means you need either Alpine repos or compile everything yourself?
Void offers musl too. Unless they've discontinued it.
But
compile everything yourself?
I do (almost) exactly that. I run Gentoo almost everywhere. The 'almost' is because Gentoo now offers an official bin repository too, so I can mix compiled and pre-compiled software. (Although you've always had the option to set up your own binary host).
How are you going to run steam though? Like at least alpine has wine, but there's no way to recompile steam unfortunately.
I was never into gaming really, and while I like the progress I dont really care tbh?
Nope. I mainly get my games (curretly around 10 only) from gog.
Don't forget Chimera Linux ( not to be confused with Chimeraos)!
