Getting the ISO
- We are first gonna download the ISO for Ubuntu Server 22.04 for ARM64.

Installing Ubuntu Server 22.04 ARM
- Follow the installation instructions. If you don't know how, use this guide:
Install Ubuntu Server | Ubuntu
Adding the repos
-
After installing it add the Zorin stable and GNOME 43 testing repos:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:zorinos/stable
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:zorinos/gnome-shell-43-testing
-
Refresh apt and install the desktop
sudo apt update
sudo apt install zorin-os-desktop -y
-
Reboot system
sudo reboot
Optional: Install Firefox ESR
- The Zorin OS desktop meta package does not include the Firefox browser. This is how to do it manually.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/ppa
sudo apt update && sudo apt install firefox-esr
This worked for me in my QEMU ARM64 VM in my MacBook Air M1.
