Hello to all
first of all, many thanks to Alex for providing the files.
Unfortunately, I am not able to create an ISO file with it, not even according to the linked instructions.
Can a more competent Linux user help and create a corresponding ISO file and make it available here?
It would also be of benefit to all other forum members.

Download the full ISO file here : https://theminixforum.com/index.php?threads/neo-z83-4u-ubuntu-ubuntu-20-04-lts-image.3111/
this is an old version, I had installed Ubuntu 21.04 lts.
I have also tried the version you mentioned and the wifi does not work. The tips mentioned here in the forum for WLAN with renaming files under /lib/firmware/.... don't work either, I've tried everything for days ;-(

But ....
I am now exactly where I was a week ago.
I can't switch the system to GERMAN.
The software manager also reports that updates are available, but cannot find the update server.
I have attached a photo of the error message...
