We don't know what everyone in the world uses, so your question is<br>
highly loaded. Let me craft an answer, and then you can carry it the<br>
way you want.<br>
<br>
GStreamer CI currently uses Fedora 30 and 31 to build cerbero and gst-<br>
build. That is what we use for per-commit CI on 1.16 and master branch<br>
(and all the up coming stable branches). So this will likely always<br>
work, but at some point we'll move forward the version of Fedora docker<br>
images and active testing of older version will drop.<br>
<br>
That being said, we have users on various Ubuntu version and we have<br>
made a great deal of effort making sure the cerbero support there is<br>
stable. But we don't have the bandwidth to revisit all 3 years+<br>
distribution we ever support to make sure it keeps working. We entirely<br>
rely on user report, and that requires a very good quality report to<br>
actually get a fix.<br>
<br>
