The time-specific "recent" doesn't actually help. The user could be reading the instructions for kirkstone and try to build on Ubuntu 25.10 as that is the most recent version. It'll likely fail though. Instead, point at the list of supported Linux distributions so that they know which are supported for the version of the docs they are currently reading.
