Looks like #foot 1.16.0 refuses to start on Linux, on kernels before 6.3.https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/issues/1514There's unfortunately no workarounds available; your can upgrade your kernel, downgrade foot, or manually patch and recompile foot.Or wait for me to do a patch release, which I'll do as soon as possible :)

@dnkl I see the issue report on @Codeberg but I've still been locked out of my account after a year and a half of trying to get a 2FA reset and can't respond there.I added a requirement to the Arch Linux package blocking older kernels so hopefully people that haven't already run into trouble will get blocked from updating at all rather than updating to a broken release. Downgrading is possible for most people but I'll be standing by for a patch release.

@alerque @Codeberg that's great, and thank you for letting me know!Plan is to post a patch later today. Depending on when it gets tested, I'll do a patch release today or tomorrow.

@dnkl It runs into the error on kernels before 6.3 if the binary was built on 6.3 or later (e.g. if you run Arch with the `linux-lts` kernel).I should have tested that condition before opening that PR, as I too thought the kernel would ignore it if an unused bit is set here. Sorry for the hassle. >_<

@6t8k no worries! This was an easy one to debug. Patch is simple too.On my way home now, and will post a PR when I get there.
