        We don't support Ubuntu on the Raspberry PI, only on PC (x86/x86_64).

            I imagine specific Raspbian commands no, though they're just few, but not only the commands are the problem for installation. If you want to install RetroPie on a Pi4, then you'll need to use Raspbian.

                Not without someone adding support for Ubuntu + PI4 in RetroPie.

                    On a Raspberry PI4, not as much as Raspbian. On a PC, yes.

                    You should search the Raspberry Pi forums for similar issues, I remember I've seen something similar that was easily solvable.
