Description

.NET 8 Arm32 doesn't work on Ubuntu 24.04. That isn't obvious from looking at the Linux section in release notes.

See: https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/main/release-notes/8.0/supported-os.md#linux

This support point is made lower in the document, in the Compatibility and Notes sections. Most readers are not going to notice that. At the very least, the notes section should be pulled up. Probably the compat section, too.

See: https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/main/release-notes/8.0/supported-os.md#linux-compatibility
