Dell Repository Manager Linux Supported OSes

Hey there folks.

A Medium article I wrote a while back seems to be like, the number one google hit for updating your servers with DRM, and it's my most popular article by far.  We use it at the day job on a linux system.

That said, the article that talks about running it on linux says that the supported OS is Ubuntu 18 (https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000182296/how-to-install-dell-emc-repository-manager-on-a-linux-operating-system)

Ubuntu 18 is now EOL, and Ubuntu 20 drops out of end of support at the end of May.  While we could apply ubuntu pro to these systems to keep them patched, it would be useful if Dell put out a new "currently validated" recommendation.  

I plan to just snapshot my DRM VM and attempt the usual Ubuntu upgrade process and see what breaks, but at that point, we're running an unsupported configuration, and it would be nice if Dell's docs were inline with reality.
