When creating this guide for LCD-Game-Shrinker I used the FREE Oracle VM VirtualBox with Ubuntu 20.0.4.2 LTS running under Windows 10. This is a great way to get a build environment set up quickly.
ATTENTION! - YOU MUST USE AN LTS VERSION OF UBUNTU!
Make sure you use a LTS version of Ubuntu, and better still, I suggest Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS simply because it's not going to give you any unexpected issues. DO NOT USE AN INTERIM RELEASE OF UBUNTU! - PPAs (Personal Package Archive) often lag behind new Ubuntu releases, especially interim ones like 25.04 (as of 2025-08-17) and will cause you nothing but a great deal of headaches! You can try newer LTS releases, but if you have issues just use 22.04.05
