Zorin 18: Which version of libc comes in this OS? (Kernel updates related)

[MHC]

I Have Zorin OS 17.3 and Mainline Kernels for downloading newer Kernels. We have a bunch of Kernels 6.16.12 and newer (6.17 up to 6.17.9 latest ... ) but all of these download packages come up with issues stating that the current device doesn't have the correct "libc:amd64" package. Our device has an older (2.35) libc:amd64 package and the minimum required is 2.38.

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of linux-headers-6.17.9-061709-generic:
 linux-headers-6.17.9-061709-generic depends on libc6 (>= 2.38); however:
  Version of libc6:amd64 on system is 2.35-0ubuntu3.10.
 linux-headers-6.17.9-061709-generic depends on libdw1t64 (>= 0.171); however:
  Package libdw1t64 is not installed.
 linux-headers-6.17.9-061709-generic depends on libelf1t64 (>= 0.144); however:
  Package libelf1t64 is not installed.
 linux-headers-6.17.9-061709-generic depends on libssl3t64 (>= 3.0.0); however:
  Package libssl3t64 is not installed.

dpkg: error processing package linux-headers-6.17.9-061709-generic (--install):

I know from other posts on here [ Update "libc6" to version 2.34 or newer ] that libc is a pretty fundamental package and others have posted here how it's a real pain in the wind-machine to update it, so I figured this may be something that's developed/updated in the newest OS ....

Question:
What version of libc:amd64 does Zorin OS 18 come with?

In ubuntu 24.04 it is 2.39 but I'm not sure about Zorin 18.

You could try it with liquorix kernel (kernel 6.17) or tuxinvader kernel (kernel 6.12). When I tried to update the kernel on my Zorin Virtual Machine I didn't get it to work with the mainline installer because of missing dependencies. With tuxinvader it worked. Liquorix I haven't tried yet.
Edit: Liquorix also works in Zorin 17.3.

Zorin OS 17.4

Zorin 17.4 doesn't exist.

Yes; typo it's Zorin OS 17.3 Pro.

If trying to install a kernel, you can use TuxInvader or Liqourix - another provider that does not adhere to Canonical (Ubuntu's) method of Forcing System Upgrading to Later Releases unnecessarily.
