Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is the current stable LTS release with long-term support until 2027. Ubuntu 24.04 LTS was only released in April 2024 and may not have the same level of ecosystem stability and GitHub Actions runner support. For CI environments, it's generally better to use the established LTS version rather than the newest one to ensure compatibility and stability.

We already have ubuntu-latest, which points to ubuntu 24. This PR just bumps for ubuntu 20 to ubuntu 22.

The README.md has been updated in commit 20c54f4 to include Ubuntu 22.04 LTS in both the Build Environments table (with GCC 11.x.x compiler) and Target Platforms table (marked as covered by CI). A Docker configuration for Ubuntu 22.04 has also been added. All references have been updated appropriately.
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is the current stable LTS release with long-term support until 2027. Ubuntu 24.04 LTS was only released in April 2024 and may not have the same level of ecosystem stability and GitHub Actions runner support. For CI environments, it's generally better to use the established LTS version rather than the newest one to ensure compatibility and stability. We can consider upgrading to 24.04 LTS in the future once it has matured in the CI ecosystem. |

@copilot - In fact, remove all older ubuntu version support below 20.04. We only support ubuntu 20.04 and later. |

Removed all Ubuntu versions below 20.04 from both Build Environments and Target Platforms tables in README.md. The documentation now only supports Ubuntu 20.04 and later versions. Commit: 8ef4aef |
This PR upgrades the GitHub Actions workflow to use Ubuntu 22.04 instead of the deprecated Ubuntu 20.04 runner image and updates documentation to reflect current supported platforms.
