+Ubuntu 20.04 自带的 CMake 3.16 不满足要求时，xmake 会自动下载并使用
+CMake 3.21 或更高版本，无需手动替换系统 CMake。

 Ubuntu 20.04 默认的 GCC 9 缺少 Slint C++ API 所需的部分 C++20 标准库，
 因此上述命令同时安装并在后续配置中指定 GCC 10。

+When Ubuntu 20.04's bundled CMake 3.16 is too old, xmake automatically
+downloads and uses CMake 3.21 or later; replacing the system CMake manually is
+not required.
+
 Ubuntu 20.04's default GCC 9 lacks parts of the C++20 standard library needed
 by Slint's C++ API, so the commands above install GCC 10 and the configuration
 below selects it explicitly.
