Hi Alex,

that should work flawlessly[1]. Many GNU Radio developers use Ubuntu 21.04 on a day-to-day
basis. It's no surprise, really, though: Within one release series, Jeff takes care that
things continue to work on the same systems! And 3.8.2.0 is what Ubuntu 21.04 ships, anyway.

Chances are not too shabby that you can even install a binary package soon, so no need to
build from source, even, but that's all limited by the amount of time our maintainers have
(shoutout there to Maitland Bottoms of Debian fame, Josh Morman of GNU Radio's PPA fame,
and Jeff Long of being-the-maint-3.8-maintainer fame).

So yeah, go for the latest and greatest operating system you can get.

Cheers,
Marcus
