Installation Type was not appeared on ubuntu 16.04

Hi, I just need to install ubuntu 16.04 on Asus Tuf Dash F15. But when I try to install it, I got a problem like in the picture below. I've been trying to install ubuntu 20.04 on that device and it's work, I can do the installation without any problem.

The reason I still need to install ubuntu 16.04 in that device is because I have needs on that ubuntu version.

G'day slamiafi, welcome to Linux.org

What is it that Ubuntu 16.04 can do, that Ubuntu 20.04 cannot do

Why do you want to install Ubuntu 16.04? It won't be updated by the end of this month. Go for Ubuntu 18 or 20.

In theory, they could get 3 more years of 16.04 by signing up for Ubuntu Advantage (free for 3 computers) and using ESM. ESM is just security updates and nothing more.

Upgrading to a more recent version is more than easy now days, no need to stick to an extended support of Ubuntu 16.04 unless you have a company running on it.

By all means, I'd advise a newer release - after all, they'd potentially get even longer support.

My post was merely a point of information. They *can* keep using it if they really, really want to.

Unless there's a very exacting hardware reason, I strongly urge a more recent release.
