Description
Change Request
Please answer the following questions before submitting your issue. Thanks!
- Describe what you find is inappropriate or missing in the existing docs.
On https://docs.pingcap.com/tidb/dev/hardware-and-software-requirements it says that Ubuntu 16.04 or later is required.
- Describe your suggestion or addition.
For the "dev" and "5.0" branches of TiDB, they will be released after Ubuntu 16.04 reaches the end of its regular life (april 2021) and goes into security fixes only mode. So I am suggesting that the version of Ubuntu can be bumped to 18.04 for these future releases.
The existing TiDB releases can stay as-is, since it's kind of weird to upgrade it mid-cycle.
- Provide some reference materials (documents, websites, etc) if you could.
