Ubtuntu 20.04 is the newest version of the popular Ubuntu OS and we are going to install the Desktop Version today.

The Ubuntu 20.04 Desktop can be downloaded from HERE.

Once the ISO has been downloaded make the boot media and boot off of it.

Install Ubuntu 20.04 Desktop:

The First Screen that will appear is the Install Screen. This screen has the installation language selection and options to Try Ubuntu which will boot ubuntu from the boot media and not install it on the machines hard drive. The second Option is Install Ubuntu which as its name suggests will install Ubuntu:

Leave the default as they are for the Updates and other software to run a Normal Installation and Download updates during the installation. There is currently a bug where the Install third-party software option breaks the installation so its probably a good idea to avoid that option for now. Click on Continue to move to the next page.
