Ubuntu 20.04 LTS: Can't run simulator

I am having issues starting the simulator.  When I try to start it from within Eclipse it appears to try and start it but you get no feedback and when you run the watchface it can't find the simulator.  When I try to start the simulator from command prompt it can't find a shared object:

~/garmin_sdk/connectiq-sdk-lin-3.1.8-2020-05-01-05516d846/bin$ sudo ./simulator
[sudo] password for <user>:
./simulator: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Will Garmin support Ubuntu 20.04?  If not, can you provide users like myself with an alternative way to develop?

The following are the particulars of my system:
