Looks like it is finally happening and an upgrade to 22.04 should be much easier luckily.

😱 but… is 16.04 still getting security updates? https://packages.ubuntu.com/ indicates that xenial was removed in July last year.

Do you know what web browser they’re using?

I did know that it’s a highly customized ubuntu derivative but that doesn’t really explain why they wouldn’t have given up on releasing 20.04 by now and moved on to working on 22.04 instead.

The browser is qtwebengine based and they backported it to a semi recent version of Chromium.

As I said, the port started years ago. They already skipped 18.04. Once 20.04 actually works, an upgrade to 22.04 should not be so difficult as much less changed under the hood between those versions. You can’t constantly try to hit a moving target and 20.04 is still supported a few more years.
