Except when they don't, e.g., Tracktion's Waveform 13.One thing that I want to clear up that I think you are misunderstanding: These days, dependencies are almost always backwards compatible. That means it is always best to use the newest version of your distro, and plugins and apps compiled from orevious versions will almost always just work. To use your example: Ubuntu 24.04 should have no problem at all with using plugins compiled for 18.04 LTS.
A gelatinous house of mirrors with goldfish would be more fun than your attempt to clear up what you think I might be misunderstanding.
