I plan to put the indicated version of Ubuntu on an older desktop which shipped with Windows Vista x86. The hardware DOES support x64, but it is VERY early x64.

libTAS requires Qt 5.6 at least, but Ubuntu 16.04 has Qt 5.5. You may still install Ubuntu 16.04 but you need to update Qt. The simplest way is by using a PPA.

What exactly is a PPA? I'm very much a newb at Linux.

A PPA is a third party repository which usually has a more up-to-date build of a software than the official Ubuntu/Debian repository. You must first add the PPA if you trust their maintainers. https://askubuntu.com/questions/4983/what-are-ppas-and-how-do-i-use-them
