How close does any of that get a person to having Ubuntu 24.04 running on their ...

You could install Ubuntu 24.04 using debootstrap. That would just get you the user space, though, you'd still have to build your own kernel image.

Isn't the Jetson line more of an embedded line and not a end-user desktop? Why would you run Ubuntu?

Jetson are embedded devices that run ubuntu. Ubuntu is the OS it ships with.

The Jetson TX2 developer kit makes a very nice developer machine - an ARM64 machine with good graphics acceleration, CUDA, etc.

In any case, Ubuntu is what it comes with.

If you spent enough time and energy on it.. I'm fairly confident you could get the newest Ubuntu running. You'd have to build your own kernel, manually generate the initramfs, figure out how to and then flash it. You'd probably run into stupid little problems like the partition table the flash script makes doesn't allocate enough space for the kernel you've built.. I'm sure there would be hiccups, at the very least, but everything's out there to do it.
