Old Linux support for new GO builds: we want your feedback

roussel2nis

Hi everybody,

We are facing questioning about old Linux distributions support as github will give up ubuntu 18.04 on 2023-04-01. So, it won't be possible (easily) to release new version of GrandOrgue for old systems after that date.

A discussion has been opened by Oleg Samarin there: https://github.com/GrandOrgue/grandorgue/discussions/1334

We want to have your feedback on this. Thanks

Support for Ubuntu 18.04 ends on April 2023, so the user should use a newer version, or should build his GrandOrgue himself. Those who cannot or do not want to switch can use Flatpak. https://flathub.org/apps/details/net.sourceforge.GrandOrgue

Wouldn't an AppImage be an option that Github allows? That works on all systems. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppImage
