glibc == gnu C library
It is the standard C library used on GNU/Linux systems. Basically, it is very important. I've also heard that the code is a rats nest. I wish standard distros would move to musl libc.
I've been using desktop Linux for 6 years and am only vaguly aware of it.

Oh boy if you're particular about spelling, Middle English would drive you crazy. There's almost no consistency with spelling. Scribes would just write what they heard so it's mostly phonetic unlike modern English.
