Is there a way to run this in Ubuntu?

I'm not sure what the process is like for Ubuntu, but if you just want something Debian-based then PikaOS has prebuilt niri ISOs.

Interested as well. I'm unfamiliar with what it takes, just an apt install ?

I'm using Regolith, which is installed in two commands.

I did it, lotta work. Easier on nix and arch I guess.

Yes
