hey guys, I just noticed this in my Software Updater. Please tell me what are these ghostscript and ghostscript-x?
Should I be worried about it?

If I remember correctly ghostscript is part of GNU-core-utils and is used for pdf.
So you shouldn't worry

I'm unfamiliar with core Linux things, still a newbie. The name felt sus to me that's why it got my attention.
Thanks for the info.
So it's needed for PDFs. Now I'm not worried.

And rtkit daemon... it's not a rootkit. It's the Real-Time Kit, a D-Bus system service for scheduling user processes and threads.
