systemd 259 To Raise Linux System Requirements
Systemd 258 is nearing release with many big changes to this init system / service manager
Required minimum version of following components is planned to be bumped in the next release: * Linux kernel >= 5.10 (recommended >= 5.14), * glibc >= 2.34, * libxcrypt >= 4.4.0 (libcrypt by glibc will be no longer supported), * util-linux >= 2.37, * elfutils >= 0.177, * openssl >= 3.0.0, * cryptsetup >= 2.4.0, * libfido2 >= 1.5.0, * libseccomp >= 2.4.0, * python >= 3.9.0. The requirements seem all reasonable and unlikely to cause issues -- especially for those that would be manually upgrading to the latest systemd release themselves would more than likely be running a recent kernel, OpenSSL, etc. Michael is also the lead developer of the Phoronix Test Suite, Phoromatic, and OpenBenchmarking.org automated benchmarking software.
