Issue
The "Supported platforms" section states:
Docker supports Docker Desktop on the current LTS release of the aforementioned distributions and the most recent version.
This implies support for only the current LTS release (singular), but the Ubuntu-specific installation page (ubuntu.md) documents support for both Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04 LTS:
Have an x86-64 system with Ubuntu 22.04, 24.04, or the latest non-LTS version.
Ubuntu 24.04 is the current LTS, and 22.04 is the previous LTS. The index page's wording doesn't account for supporting previous LTS releases.
Why this matters
A reader checking the general requirements on the index page would understand that only the current LTS (24.04) is supported, potentially leading them to unnecessarily upgrade from Ubuntu 22.04. This contradicts the actual support documented on the Ubuntu installation page.
Suggested fix
Update the supported platforms description to clarify that Docker Desktop supports both current and previous LTS releases, or at minimum the current LTS and one prior LTS version. For example:
Docker supports Docker Desktop on the current and previous LTS releases of the aforementioned distributions, as well as the most recent version.
Or be more specific about the support window if there's a defined policy.
