Okay so in short musl works for multiple distros.
That’s quite neat.

it may only work on the particular distribution you use

Is that

  • Ubuntu 20.04 vs Ubuntu 20.10
  • Ubuntu vs Xubuntu
  • Ubuntu vs. Linux-Mint / Debian
  • Ubuntu vs. Arch Linux / Fedora / SUSE / Gentoo / Slackware

or some other category?

Yes all of those can/may use different GLIBC, it’s best to just use MUSL and avoid the whole mess.
