I've installed Ubuntu 18.04.01. And I've updated everything. My Minix is running Ubuntu version 22.04.2 LTS just fine. What should I do to create a bootable Ubuntu USB stick (or iso which can be made bootable with Rufus) with this latest Ubuntu version (either 22 or 23)? Are there drivers I should place somewhere before using Rufus, for example?

You can use ventoy and copy the Ubuntu desktop LTS ISO (latest version is 22.04.2) to the USB stick

Download Ubuntu: (choose the Long term support , LTS version)
https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop

Download Ventoy and use it:
https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html
 
Okay thank you. Do I need special drivers or something like that for Minix? Like, is the ISO in the beginpost a special ISO? Or just a standard Ubuntu version?
That is just a standard ISO version (made by Canonical)
You just need to download it, boot from the USB stick (via for example, ventoy) and install.

Please check post#1 (windows 10 license key).

After OS installation you can update ubuntu via command line or via GUI.
