Regardless of OS version? That sounds like nonsense. Only someone who doesn’t know how Linux works would believe that.
glibc is a fundamental library that underpins Linux. Its been going since the 1980s and is constantly updated and patched.
Similarly the Linux kernel undergoes constant evolution and change.
No one can promise to support Linux regardless of the OS version because by necessity it is constantly changing. Even slow release cycle distros like Debian move forward with each major release. Backwards compatibility is actually a bit of a nightmare on Linux. Ironically it can be easier to get old windows software running on Linux than old Linux software.
People running systems older than glibc 2.31 really should patch and update their systems. That package itself is already 5 years old.

I don’t think buddy knows the difference between a Linux version and a Linux distro.
