@lunduke In your (unfinished) best operating system ever series, you touched on yhe subject that older Linux distros run into the issue of their software repos going down.

It's kind of a bummer that this is true.

Are there any good solutions to this? Can i install an old Ubuntu version and point apt to get archived packages from somewhere else.

I ask not because i want to do this kind of thing, but because I care about longevity of a platform.
