Trying to install tuxboot using Ubuntu PPA (Ubuntu 18.04), like so: 

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:thomas.tsai/ubuntu-tuxboot

but I get 

Err:8 http://ppa.launchpad.net/thomas.tsai/ubuntu-tuxboot/ubuntu bionic Release
404  Not Found [IP: 91.189.95.83 80]
Reading package lists... Done                      
E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/thomas.tsai/ubuntu-tuxboot/ubuntu bionic Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

I have read multiple accounts of users that successfully used the PPA to install tuxboot. What am I doing wrong?

    If you open the PPA up in a browser, you'll note it does not support releases past [16.04] Xenial (ie. look at http://ppa.launchpad.net/thomas.tsai/ubuntu-tuxboot/ubuntu/dists/ and you'll note no directories for any release > xenial) – guiverc Jul 14 '18 at 09:44

    You should always check package existence in PPA for your release. This PPA does not have packages for bionic. You can contact PPA owner and request packaging for 18.04 LTS (if you are interested). – N0rbert Jul 14 '18 at 09:44
