You can see the list of the current supported platforms [here](https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/installing/platform-support-policy#core)

We are no longer building new native packages for Ubuntu 18, as it is out of regular maintenance since 2023-05-31. For users on these older versions the suggestion is:

> Install a [static build](https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/installing/one-line-installer-for-all-linux-systems#static-builds) instead of the native packages.

> Note that you should uninstall Netdata and its plugins completely (purge). If you need to keep the previously collected data, make sure you make a backup of the `/var/*/netdata` directories, and transplant them to `/opt/netdata/var/*/netdata` after installing the static build, while Netdata isn’t running.

Note: just referencing the source of the suggestion provided on a another thread [E: Unable to locate package netdata-plugin-systemd-journal - #2 by ralphm](https://community.netdata.cloud/t/e-unable-to-locate-package-netdata-plugin-systemd-journal/4608/2)
