Vivado, Vitis, & PetaLinux 2024.2 Install on Ubuntu

In the software world of FPGA tools, the IDEs used to develop designs on FPGAs seems to be accelerating faster and faster with each passing year - full pun intended with my use of "accelerating" there. Which means there is no shortage of need for installation tips and tricks. So here am I again for AMD FPGA tools version 2024.2 because I found a couple of new things in this installation process (don't even ask about the sheer amount of hard drive space I've dedicated to Vivado/Vitis installations).
As usual, I'm working in an Ubuntu host environment. The following instructions have been tested and verified in Ubuntu versions 20.04 LTS, 22.04 LTS, and 24.04 LTS without Ubuntu Pro enabled. However I can't foresee any reason that Ubuntu Pro would have any impact on this installation flow unless a given firewall connection ends up blocking backend access to PetaLinux mirrors or Vivado's access to the online board definition file repository. Which is the most common thing I've run into working on company-issued computers versus my personal computers.
