If the AppImage is built with a too recent version of the glibc, it will not run on an older system.

I am also trying to build on an older version (Ubuntu 20.04), but I get a compile error that I am not able to resolve with my zero-knowledge C++. It looks like the fmt library available in unbuntu 20.04 is too old : https://github.com/alberic89/supertux/tree/alberic89-appimage-fix1

That's right, so upgrade your ubuntu version or build the library from source
