Yepp; but I am not on lts-kernel, that is probably why.

No Hyperbola don't even know what distro it is; Just Arch Linux here.

I guess because I am not on lts-kernel and probably because I have lots
of stuff installed.

Harddrive is cheap nowdays. I have entire kde/gnome stack installed; and
lots more. When I need to compile a library or application I don't want
ot chase dependencies around. I just don't use them as desktops and
don't run apps.  For example yesterday I was just able to git clone
heaptrack and compile it, no headaches.
