Information About Removing Ubuntu 20.04

I've decided to drop support of Ubuntu 20.04 in favor of Ubuntu 22.04; many drivers and packages need to be backported or fixed. So I will be focused on maintaining Ubuntu 22.04 for the time being. I may support Ubuntu 20.04 again soon when more packages are backported, or interest is expressed.
