Can I install Ubuntu 18 software on Ubuntu 22.04? (Technically Linux Mint 21.3)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I haven't really needed to virtualize anything lately, but my understanding is that some of the options on Linux are pretty light weight. Frpm discussion I've seen, I think distrobox could resolve the issue with minimal overhead if you have issues natively, though I haven't personally experimented with it or its limitations.
