 Prebuilt binaries are distributed via `npm`. Run `npx workerd ...` to use these. If you're running a prebuilt binary, you'll need to make sure your system has the right dependencies installed:
 
 * On Linux:
-  * glibc 2.31 or higher (already included on e.g. Ubuntu 20.04, Debian Bullseye)
+  * glibc 2.35 or higher (already included on e.g. Ubuntu 22.04, Debian Bookworm)
 * On macOS:
