I have a machine with a version of Ubuntu 20.10 installed. I would like to install Java 8.

java -version
Command 'java' not found, but can be installed with:
sudo apt install default-jre              # version 2:1.11-72, or
sudo apt install openjdk-11-jre-headless  # version 11.0.11+9-0ubuntu2~20.10
sudo apt install openjdk-13-jre-headless  # version 13.0.7+5-0ubuntu1~20.10
sudo apt install openjdk-15-jre-headless  # version 15.0.3+3-1~20.10
sudo apt install openjdk-16-jre-headless  # version 16.0.1+9-1~20.10
sudo apt install openjdk-8-jre-headless   # version 8u292-b10-0ubuntu1~20.10
sudo apt install openjdk-14-jre-headless  # version 14.0.2+12-1

If I try to do install it with the command

sudo apt install openjdk-8-jre-headless

I get the following error

Err:1 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu groovy-updates/universe amd64 openjdk-8-jre-headless amd64 8u292-b10-0ubuntu1~20.10

Please upgrade to (or fresh install) Ubuntu 22.04. The version of Ubuntu you are running has reached end of life, and the software repositories are no longer available.

Ubuntu 20.10 (along with all flavors) is *End-of-Life* and thus unsupported on this site (https://askubuntu.com/help/on-topic), and many other Ubuntu sites, unless your question is specific to moving to a supported release of Ubuntu. https://fridge.ubuntu.com/2021/07/25/ubuntu-20-10-groovy-gorilla-end-of-life-reached-on-july-22-2021/ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
