FWIW the Docker registry still has versions of Ubuntu going back to 14.04. All LTSes, I think. I didn't have any trouble whatsoever with the example I gave using 20.04 here. But, yeah, I'd suggest going with the newest old version that works for compiling gthumb without headaches if that's the goal.

Ubuntu 14.04 did not install right out of the box for me. See my comment above for how I worked around it. Ubuntu 14.04 has gThumb 3.2.7 in it which I think is the UI he is looking for.

I think I replied to the wrong comment. He may not even see my post.
