How do I install Ubuntu 22.10 on a Linux Mint 20.3 system?

to flag

I'm a Linux Mint 20.3 Cinnamon user. I have a spare SSD and want to install Ubuntu 22.10 on it.

What do I need to do?

This will be a Clean Install and I don't want to save any files.

No you don't; you can modify your existing boot loader to boot *live* systems that exist on your existing drive (SSD) by modification to your `grub` boot loader, but that is a lot more work than just writing the ISO you want to install to thumb-drive, and just booting it and installing from thumb-drive media. You can also use any other media your machine can boot from (*including magnetic tape, SD/MMC or any media if your box will boot from it*)

Is existing install UEFI? Ubuntu's Ubiquity installer only installs grub's UEFI boot files to ESP - efi system partition on first drive. For most that is ok. But if external drive or user wants total separation, you have to manually partition in advance or do a work around.

I would recommend unplugging the Mint drive before proceeding, (you cant break something that is not there). Install Ubuntu using guiverc's link above. replace the Mint drive and `sudo update-grub` to put Mint on Ubuntu's GRUB menu.

Looks like you have an SSD that you wish to install Ubuntu 22.10 to. This is a simple install. Ubuntu has an excellent step by step guide.

You need a USB drive (on which to flash the live environment), and then use that to install the OS itself. The iso is available at on Ubuntu Desktop OS Download Page.

I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
