Trying to install tuxboot using Ubuntu PPA (Ubuntu 18.04), like so: 

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:thomas.tsai/ubuntu-tuxboot

but I get 

Err:8 http://ppa.launchpad.net/thomas.tsai/ubuntu-tuxboot/ubuntu bionic Release
404  Not Found [IP: 91.189.95.83 80]
Reading package lists... Done                      
E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/thomas.tsai/ubuntu-tuxboot/ubuntu bionic Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.

I have read multiple accounts of users that successfully used the PPA to install tuxboot. What am I doing wrong?

    If you open the PPA up in a browser, you'll note it does not support releases past [16.04] Xenial (ie. look at http://ppa.launchpad.net/thomas.tsai/ubuntu-tuxboot/ubuntu/dists/ and you'll note no directories for any release > xenial) – guiverc Jul 14 '18 at 09:44

    You should always check package existence in PPA for your release. This PPA [does not have packages for bionic](https://launchpad.net/~thomas.tsai/+archive/ubuntu/ubuntu-tuxboot). You can contact PPA owner and request packaging for 18.04 LTS (if you are interested). – N0rbert Jul 14 '18 at 09:44
