I was installing NodeJS through the installation instructions on the following page:
https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#debian-and-ubuntu-based-linux-distributions

However, it does not list Ubuntu 18.04 as supported.
Though, when checking the #Node.js freenode web IRC, they've pointed me to the website:

https://github.com/nodesource/distributions/blob/master/README.md

Where it does show Ubuntu 18.04, so I believe it actually is supported.


This may be confusing to new people.
And the "supported versions" are documented on multiple places, making it possible for them to get desynchronised (as in this example).


I feel that the page should be updated to list 18.04 and/or possibly should refer to the git readme for a list of supported distributions, rather than having it double-documented.
