Ubuntu-20.04: Python-3.8 is default, python-3.9 is available. Inkscape
depends on python2:any.
dpkg -S /usr/bin/python
python-is-python2: /usr/bin/python
I have not noticed any problem with python3.
If some packages are considered as too old, e.g. Emacs-26.3 then
Ubuntu-21.10 should be considered. At least it will be possible to
upgrade it to Ubuntu-22.04 LTS in a single hop. Another option for rare
upgrades is Debian stable.

I tried Ubuntu-20.10 and Ubuntu-21.10 in qemu. With the former I faced a
really weird bug with depressed shift in gdm3 password field (you have
no chance to notice that only first letter typed with shift is
capitalized), with the latter firefox does not always redraw tabs after
switching them using Ctrl+PgUp or Ctrl+PgDown. Booting live image
directly works better and allows to test hardware support, e.g. sound. I
have not tried 21.10 in this way, with 20.10 default wayland session
cursor on the external monitor was too huge to make point where it
points to rather uncertain.
Problems with upgrade are usually caused by rarely used packages. So
unless precise configuration is tried (dpkg --get-selections, dpkg
--set-selections, third-party packages), the problem will not be noticed
in VM. On the other hand installing all packages makes image size
noticeably large.

ipython may be installed to python 3.6 as well.
