One of the most common distro's especially in ML, also the default for WSL on Windows
I mean what about Ubuntu means I can't just run the curl installer on Arch instead? (I have now seen there is a workaround that I'll use, but I'm still curious)
I did follow your steps below:
To update mojo for this release, make sure you’re on the latest modular cli and then reinstall:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install modular
modular clean
modular install mojo

Anyone can help ?

People have found ways to get it working on other distros ;). Right now they’re going one at a time and right now they’re going most common to most common OS.
