I'd like to install the newest 64-bit version of TeXstudio on Ubuntu 12.04. Since it's not in one of the default repositories, I need to get it a different way. The TeXstudio homepage has links for Debian 6.0 and 7.0, as well as links for xUbuntu 12.04. This answer suggests downloading the xUbuntu version but doesn't compare it to any other versions or explain why.

Which one should I choose, and why? Or is this something that I should ask the developers of the program?

xUbuntu :
The 'x' stands for whatever version. So, in this case, "xUbuntu" means "Ubuntu or Xubuntu or Kubuntu or Lubuntu".

Which one should I choose ? : In my opinion, the best would be to take the xUbuntu way, because it's more likely to have the needed dependencies for Ubuntu.

Should I ask the developers ? : I don't think it's necessary, for the reasons already given.

So, to install the 2.5.2 version of TeXstudio on Ubuntu 12.04 x86_64 (64bits), you should do this :

wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/jsundermeyer/xUbuntu_12.04/amd64/texstudio_2.5.2_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i texstudio_2.5.2_amd64.deb

sudo apt-get install -f

Or, graphically, download this package and install it with the Software Center.
