Hello!

At this moment we only support Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa) and 20.10 (Groovy Gorilla). Our development team is suggesting if you would be open to compiling yourself using these instructions for other versions of Ubuntu? https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/mozilla-vpn-client/blob/main/README.md

I hope this helps,
