Hi, I don't use Ubuntu and I don't know which library it actually is. Anyway, clearly some people use one while some use the other. What I'm looking for is system-wide recommendation or advice.
On Fedora, there's libuuid which comes with the Linux kernel IIRC and my whole desktop depends on it. And there's uuid and uuid++ provided by OSSP, which weren't installed at all, which means no package uses them.
