Latest version is not compatible with Ubuntu 18.04.06

Issue

I'm trying to install the latest conky version on Ubuntu 18.04.06, so I followed the instructions in the README.md file:

curl -sL -o conky-x86_64.AppImage \
    $(curl -sL https://api.github.com/repos/brndnmtthws/conky/releases/latest | \
    jq --raw-output '.assets[0] | .browser_download_url')

chmod +x ./conky-x86_64.AppImage

./conky-x86_64.AppImage -C > ~/.conkyrc

the last command gives me the following error logs:

I confirmed this is not the case for Ubuntu 20.04, where the GLIBC is already in a compatible version with conky. So my question is wouldn't be nice to have somewhere a page to list the distros each version is compatible with?

I guess there is a conflict with Python 3.xx I use Debian minimal + Openbox and I can't to run yet.
