The Ubuntu installer supports 22.04, 24.04 and 26.04 LTS, covering Desktop, Server, cloud GPU instances, WSL2, and Ubuntu-based Linux Mint and Zorin OS (64-bit x86); it runs by executing sudo bash ./Ubuntu_AI_Requirements_Installer.sh in a terminal, and closing the terminal does not interrupt the installation process.
The creator points out that if all distributions focused solely on the underlying layer, they would become extremely difficult to distinguish from one another; for example, if Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Pop!_OS, MX Linux, and Debian all shipped vanilla GNOME, they would be essentially identical.
Ten years ago, Linux Mint and the Ubuntu it is based on were almost the only answers everyone recommended to beginners, because they were among the few distributions that came with a good graphical installer.
The creator believes that in recent years the promotional heat of Linux Mint on social media has noticeably declined and the attention to Ubuntu's desktop has also somewhat fallen back, because the beginner-friendly label is no longer rare.
