Due to major bugs on QGIS 3.18 I am forced to install the LTR version. But the official instructions here (https://www.qgis.org/de/site/forusers/alldownloads.html) do only explain how to install the latest version.

I am using Ubuntu 20.04.


Update: I followed the advice below and continued installation, now I got this:

sudo apt install qgis qgis-plugin-grass
