hello everybody,

i have a m500 development drone. I am following this tutorial 

https://docs.modalai.com/docker-on-voxl/

to have docker on my drone but i kind of want to use a more recent version of ubuntu because i want a more recent version of python to work with. 

like i want to be able to install more recent versions of numpy and opencv and pandas packages and run scripts on the drone itself. 

however, installing the pip version of python3 itself on roskinetic-xenial_v1_0 docker image is something of a pain itself. and in the end it doesn't work. 

i was looking for a solution where i didn't have to deal with outdated distributions... 

someone said they were able to do ros:noetic-robot a more recent version of python and ubuntu running but when i try to do it I get an error
