[[Distro-agnostic_emulator_packages_for_Linux#Snappy|Snappy packages]] are currently the default method of installing software in Ubuntu, encouraged by Canonical - developers of Ubuntu. Installing snaps is very simple, just open Ubuntu Software app and find your desired emulator from there, confirming installation with your user (or root user) password. No additional configuration is required to install snaps. There are distribution-independent emulator packages which can be used instead of Ubuntu PPA. Packages especially notable or useful for Ubuntu are listed [https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Distro-agnostic_emulator_packages_for_Linux here].

Time to dust it off
deb <nowiki>http://ppa.launchpad.net/</nowiki><u>ppa:user/ppa-name</u>/ubuntu <u>xenial</u> main
Where instead of <u>xenial</u> for 16.04, you type <u>trusty</u> for 14.04, <u>bionic</u> for 18.04, and <u>focal</u> for 20.04, <u>hirsute</u> for 21.04, and <u>impish</u> for 21.10.
You can then see what emulators you have with each repos, and can now install the ones you want.

===Distro-independent Packages on Ubuntu===
{{main|Distro-agnostic emulator packages for Linux}}
There are also distribution-independent emulator packages in [[Distro-agnostic_emulator_packages_for_Linux#Snappy|Snappy]], [[Distro-agnostic_emulator_packages_for_Linux#Flatpak|Flatpak]] or [[Distro-agnostic_emulator_packages_for_Linux#AppImage|AppImage]] formats which can be used instead of Ubuntu PPA. These packages are especially useful for users of Ubuntu 20.04 or newer because most PPAs are abandoned.
Snappy packages are currently the default method of installing software in Ubuntu, encouraged by Canonical - developers of Ubuntu. Installing snaps is very simple, just open Ubuntu Software app and find your desired emulator from there, confirming installation with your user (or root user) password. No additional configuration is required to install snaps.
