gcc is part of the infrastructure, for the simple reason that you need the same compiler version to build Linux kernel modules.

- ddulaney 6y agoDisplayLink is something that comes to mind. For Arch (btw i use) it needs DKMS and comes out of the AUR[0]. For Ubuntu, it looks like you need some 3rd-party packages that will need to be compiled for modern kernels.
