  • Did you try looking at the various tutorials? You didn't specify which Ubuntu product you're asking about (Server? Core? or Desktop?) but you can try before installing (https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/try-ubuntu-before-you-install) with many tutorials availble - https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/tutorial-install-ubuntu-desktop#1-overview https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/tutorial-burn-a-dvd-on-macos#1-overview https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/tutorial-burn-a-dvd-on-windows#1-overview https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/how-to-burn-a-dvd-on-ubuntu/14022 – guiverc Jan 06 '23 at 03:49
  • ie. tutorials to write the ISO if you're using MacOS, windows or GNU?Linux (Debian & Ubuntu are very similar). I use the same commands/apps to write an ISO on Debian as I do if using Ubuntu.. https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/tutorial-create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu#1-overview https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/tutorial-create-a-usb-stick-on-macos#1-overview https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/tutorial-create-a-usb-stick-on-windows#1-overview (You may just need to ensure your Debian system is modern & not old. If you're cloning the ISO to thumb-drive you won't have issues, but if not cloned you need updates) – guiverc Jan 06 '23 at 03:51

ANSWER 1

Official website of Ubuntu should be the priority to download the iso files of your desired Ubuntu versions. here are couple of latest Ubuntu versions

Ubuntu 22.04(LTS)

Ubuntu 22.10

ANSWER 2

GUI softwares like rufus (for windows or MAC) and Unetbootin (for Linux) are good choices to make your usb drive bootable. Though we can format the USB drive from terminal (Linux and MAC). Formatting it with Terminal is a better way as that makes the bootable drive more accurate and errorless.

ANSWER 3

Plugging in your bootable USB and choosing your USB partition as your boot option will send you to ubuntu installation

  • You mention the official website for downloads; but then use other links? https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ is the official Ubuntu ISO site, but I don't if the sites you gave are even official mirrors (ie. exist on https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+cdmirrors) or not as I didn't check - but they are not Official Ubuntu download sites. – guiverc Jan 06 '23 at 06:31
  • The first you list appears to be https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+mirror/repo.extreme-ix.org-release or a Ubuntu mirror; either way that's not from the official Ubuntu website, ie. not https://ubuntu.com/download etc. – guiverc Jan 06 '23 at 06:33
  • My colleague and I have redacted your contact details from your post. Best to keep personal details like this private... – andrew.46 Jan 06 '23 at 09:46
