The Linux ecosystem already settled on containers to solve the problem. Namely Docker, Flatpak, Podman ec.

Wanna see those containers running in those old systems. Good luck getting flatpak to run on a kernel without PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS.
- ChocolateGod 2mo ago> kernel without PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS So basically no mainstream distro.
- analog_daddy 2mo agoThey require admin privileges. A consumer on an enterprise servers might not have them, which is where I would guess glibc might not be latest one. If you are an admin then sure those solutions can be feasible.
- ChocolateGod 2mo agoYou don't need admin for Flatpak, Podman etc.
