These instructions are based on this blogpost by Anton Semjonov and this video by Animortis Productions. Please follow the link if you want more details, they go into much more detail about each step, whereas this document is more focused on being a concise cheat sheet. Let's go.
Boot the Ubuntu installation medium. When asked, choose the "Try Ubuntu" option and open a terminal.
Switch to root, otherwise you'll have to type sudo all the time:
sudo su -
Chose between natural mode like MacOS or Windows default mode.
You can do this by going to Start Menu, type PowerShell, and click Run as Administrator.

Here are a few collected ways I like to customize Ubuntu 22.04 servers. I used to love Ubuntu, but I hate auto updates and snaps. They also put ads and other usless ads diguised as "news" in MOTD. ESM FUD is spread throughout the OS including simple apt functions. You do not need ESM and thus Ubuntu 22.04 has become super annoying. unattended-upgrade is an automatic installation of security (and other) upgrades without user intervention. Consider the ramifications of disabling this service.
The Unattended Upgrades feature is enabled by default and it runs at system boot without the user's permission. The configuration is stored in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades

sudo dpkg-reconfigure unattended-upgrades then a TUI will come up, select "No"
This will not permantently disable the function. After an update it will be enabled. In the file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades change these values from 1 to 0. Even doing this it will
INSTALLING TRUENAS SCALE WITH FANCONTROL ON ASUSTOR FLASHSTOR DEVICES
This gist has been moved to a full git repositiory: https://github.com/bernmc/flashstor-trueNAS-fancontrol/blob/main/README.md
This fork of John Davis' original gist describes installing TrueNAS on Asustor's Flashstor 6 and 12 Pro devices, and enabling temperature monitoring and fan control on these devices under TrueNAS SCALE. The gist was limited - the installation requires two scripts and a fair amount of explanation, so git was more appropriate.
See you there!
