PCIE Gen3x16 Installation Guide for DE10-Pro

I'm using a DE10-Pro board from Terasic, a partner of Intel who sells FPGA boards featuring intel Stratix 10 FPGA. In specific on the demo user guide, on page 2 it describes to compile the demo code you must either have Ubuntu 16.04 or CentOS 7.6, both of these reference the kernel versions that came out in 2016.

None of these will run on a modern PC setup due to the chipset, IO and MB specs. I have Ubuntu 20.04 and CentOS 10(Coughlin) part of there streaming development. I cannot run these in a VM either.

The code is included with the build and it will not build without complaining of HAL mismatches in there API calls. I am Not a linux device driver developer and this code is pretty advanced. Is there a way around this other than purchasing a computer from 2016 that would support these OS to compile this code as directed in the manual with no fault?
