I am trying to install Ubuntu 23.04 on my M2 Mac using VMware, but I can't get past the sudo command screen when I type in sudo taskel install ubuntu-desktop
it keeps demanding I type in a command. I'd appreciate some help in navigating the sudo commands to install Ubuntu 23.04.

You can install the complete ubuntu-desktop task in Ubuntu Server by running the following command:
sudo apt install 'ubuntu-desktop^'
Here are some additional tips for installing an Ubuntu desktop using VMware Fusion 13 player for macOS.
- Use the Ubuntu Server 22.04.2 LTS ARM64 ISO to install an Ubuntu 22.04 virtual machine.
- After the installation of Ubuntu 22.04 is finished convert the Ubuntu Server using the tasksel program which can be installed by
sudo apt install tasksel
. Install the Ubuntu desktop task by selecting it with the space key in tasksel and remove every server task that you don't want to keep. - Install the open-vm-tools-desktop package in Ubuntu with
sudo apt install open-vm-tools-desktop
. - You may need to disable kernel updates in Ubuntu.
- You may need to adjust the VM's settings to improve performance, especially the graphics performance which is great in macOS but in Ubuntu YMMV.
