I wonder how angry will the maintainers be in 2036:

aaaa, why do we have to support this ancient release, why did we promise 12 years of support

That's how you get successful, do something others don't

Humorously, in 12 years we can say “well, it still works on Ubuntu” 🤷‍♂️

Not a problem. Ship the component as a snap instead. 😊

"Oh no, we're getting paid to do this thing instead of some other thing."

Part of having a job is working on things that need to be worked on, not because they're fun.

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.
