Bug Description
[Impact]
There are a number of updates needed for the installation guide for >= xenial
- Ubuntu is described as a desktop operating system - but that's odd text for architectures
where desktop is not appropriate (e.g. s390x)
- There is no ISO for arm64 (yet) - but the installation guide strongly recommends it (xenial-specific)
- The only ARM firmware described is U-Boot - but we also support UEFI there.
- Cavium ThunderX is a newly supported arm64 platform - let's mention it.
- Various software versions are out of date (Linux, GNOME, brltty).
[Test Case]
Text changes get rendered :)
[Regression Risk]
Minor; it is documentation.

To be honest installer guide should say Ubuntu Server throughout. Whilst it is possible to install Ubuntu Desktop product using d-i that is not the default for neither d-i on ubuntu, nor ubuntu desktop (uses ubiquity instead). Very good point.
