Hey @dmiepub,

linux-x64-static.tar can be used on any linux distribution on an x64 CPU (most common ones). You can check your CPU architecture with:

lscpu | grep Architecture
Architecture:        x86_64

If your Ubuntu is x86_64 then you should use this one.

ubuntu-aarch64.tar is for ARM CPUs, this binary only works for Ubuntu(maybe Debian/Raspbian as well).

lscpu | grep Architecture
Architecture:                    aarch64
