going back to Elixir developing an app.
should I revive my old setup Elixir 1.12.1 or install new OS everything new. Also does new Ubuntu LTS is a good pair with elixir?
Any replies would be appreciated.
This post should be a poll type hmmm...
#revive old environment or install anew?

There are a few new things in the latest Elixir versions
but if you have asdf it's easy to "upgrade"
Ubuntu is good
I mean there is no specific bonuses 😄

Yeah I second using asdf then you can have multiple versions of elixir installed depending on what each project needs. The OS you use shouldn't matter if you use asdf.

back then I encountered an issue on my erlang installation there's widgets wix something ish failure. Can someonw confirm if its now supported in latest Ubuntu

wxWidgets; it's not required, it's only needed if you're going to be building UIs using wxWidgets (unlikely) or if you want to use the built-in :observer (more likely). In any-case, you just need to install the right libraries. On ubuntu 22.04 e.g.: sudo apt install libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev (source: I just did this recently and it worked)
but again, you can also just ignore the warnings, it's not required

Yeah but not using wxwidgets right? What kind of UI?
I don't mean to make any assumptions, but wxwidgets is just really old, but I guess people still use it... 🤷

not familiar with any of that but Google image search suggests that's text-based, ncurses style stuff...
