Summary

Running the AppImage produces the error:

$ ./helix-23.03-x86_64.AppImage
/tmp/.mount_helix-jzcV0s/usr/bin/hx: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by /tmp/.mount_helix-jzcV0s/usr/bin/hx)

The same happens when downloading https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/releases/download/23.03/helix-23.03-x86_64-linux.tar.xz and running hx from it:

$ ./hx
./hx: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by ./hx)

Suggestion: for a start, modify https://docs.helix-editor.com/install.html#linux to mention this. Ideally, make it work on Slackware64-15.0, which uses glibc-2.33.

Reproduction Steps

I tried this:

  1. hx

I expected this to happen:

Instead, this happened:
