While we have tested it against several known and sizeable projects, that doesn’t preclude the existence of even more regressions.

No No, compile on my laptop just a tiny task, if not because 1.7.2 not support llvm 15, it probably faster, for now, i have to compile use docker + alpine with static link. It done already! ```auto ╰─ $ cr version Crystal 1.7.2 [29f9ac503] (2023-01-23) LLVM: 13.0.1 Default target: x86_64-alpine-linux-gnu ``` ---

I used Slackware too. In fact, when i first switch from window to linux, i use Slackware for five years, i switch to Arch several years ago.
