How to choose a JDK for a given Ubuntu VM

My Windows 10 machine is an HP EliteBook 840 G6 running i5-8365U. I recently installed Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS as a VM on VirtualBox 6.1.28. The ISO file ubuntu-20.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso was from https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop.

I have to choose a JDK 8 (LTS) from AdoptOpenJDK, HotSpot JVM, update 265. This is on the second page of https://adoptopenjdk.net/archive.html?variant=openjdk8&jvmVariant=hotspot. The associated files can be found by search this age for string "265".

There are many Linux options to choose from:

  Linux ppc64le

  Linux s390x

  Linux x64

  Linux arm32

  Linux aarch64

I'm guessing that I choose "x64" because my Ubuntu ISO file name contains "amd64"?

I'm not sure if this is an Ubuntu question or a VM question.

If you are unsure of your system architecture, you can use the uname -m or arch command from a terminal. If you get x86_64 -> It's a x64.

You can refer to this answer for more details.

On a side note, as you have probably noticed, AdoptOpenJDK has transitioned to Eclipse and https://adoptopenjdk.net won't be updated as of July 2021. The new website is https://adoptium.net, and the distribution name is now "Temurin". That said, if you specifically need a 265 build, Adoptium does not provide it and you better stick with AdoptOpenJDK.
