This tutorial will show you the simple steps of installing a modern Linux Distribution – Ubuntu Desktop 18.04 LTS. Here we present the more advanced setup installation, when you have already had installed operating systems, so this installation will add Ubuntu 18.04 LTS to our two existing ones – Microsoft Windows 10 Professional and Fedora Workstation 28. So we have 3 hard disks – one is NVME, the other two are SSDs and we want to install our Ubuntu 18.04 to the first disk – “sda” in this case. Our first SSD has two partitions, which we will remove and make new disk layout for the Ubuntu installation with three partitions.
Ubuntu Desktop 18.04 LTS comes with the following software:
- Xorg X server – 1.19.6
- GNOME (the GUI) – 3.28.1
- linux kernel – 4.15.0
- linux-firmware – 1.173
- QT – 5.9.5
- libc – 2.27
- gnu gcc – 7.3.0
- coreutils – 8.28
- python2.7 (default) – 2.7.15
- python3 – 3.6.5
- perl – 5.26.1
- apt – 1.6.1
- cups – 2.2.7
We used the following ISO for the installation process – Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver):

It is a LIVE image so you can try it before installing. The easiest way is just to download the image and burn it to a DVD disk and then follow the installation below:
STEP 1) Change to “Install Ubuntu” and hit enter.
To install Ubuntu from your DVD or USB you must boot from it, so change your BIOS accordingly – first boot devide should be the DVD or USB drive with Ubunto installation. If you do it successfully you would see the screenshot below.
