From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Why does Ruby Gem 3 install gems to Ruby 2 directories? (beehaw.org)

I have just installed the tmuxinator 3.0.5 ruby gem with gem 3.2.5 and the --user-install parameter, and to my surprise the gem was installed to ~/.gem/ruby/2.7.0/bin/.

Is this a misconfiguration? Will it bite me in the future? I had a quick look at the environment and haven't found a variable that could have done this. Or did I just misunderstand something? I assume that the version of gem goes in tandem with the version of ruby, at least regarding the major version number, but I might be wrong, as I'm not familiar with it.

I have checked the version of gem by running gem --version. This is on a Debian Bullseye based distribution.

No, Gems have their own versions.
