-Ubuntu users can add a '''PPA''' by executing the following commands to receive updates for Dolphin ([https://askubuntu.com/questions/148638/how-do-i-enable-the-universe-repository '''Universe''' repository] needs to be enabled first).
+As of 20.04LTS, possibly some time prior, Dolphin is available in Ubuntu's own package repository, so if Ubuntu's Universe repositories have been enabled first, users can run <code>sudo apt install dolphin-emu</code>.
-This applies to '''all''' [https://distrowatch.com/search.php?basedon=Ubuntu Ubuntu-based distributions].
+The Universe repositories provide versions of Dolphin for amd64 (a.k.a. x64 or 64-bit) and arm64 (a.k.a. ARMv8-A).
-Install the '''stable version''':
+====Older Ubuntu versions====
+At one point, Dolphin had its own Ubuntu PPA (which also applied to all Ubuntu-based distributions) that could be added to the ''apt'' fetch list with <code>sudo apt-add-repository ppa:dolphin-emu/ppa</code>, whose PPA also offered <code>sudo apt install dolphin-emu-master</code>.
-<pre>sudo apt-add-repository ppa:dolphin-emu/ppa
+However, the PPA is no longer active as of 28 February 2024.
-sudo apt update
-sudo apt install dolphin-emu</pre>
-Or to install the '''development version''':
-<pre>sudo apt-add-repository ppa:dolphin-emu/ppa
-sudo apt update
-sudo apt install dolphin-emu-master</pre>
-'''NOTICE''': '''14.04 LTS''' users will need an updated '''libstdc++6''' (>=4.9) to run dolphin-emu or dolphin-emu-master, so install [https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-toolchain-r/+archive/ubuntu/test this PPA] first:
-<pre>
-sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
-sudo apt update
-</pre>
-You don't need to update all GCC packages, just upgrade libstdc++6, gcc-4.9-base and eventual dependencies in Synaptic, and disable the PPA.
