A new installation of Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon version 6.4.8 and Kernel 6.8.0-54-generic. Hardware is a 32 Core Epyc CPU with 384GB RAM on a Supermicro H12SSL-i. This is a Desktop PC, migrated from Windows 10 to Linux.
I followed non-LTS instructions:
Specifically, I ran the following script to add Stable to the repository list, updated apt and ran “apt install incus”:
Enabled: yes
Types: deb
URIs: https://pkgs.zabbly.com/incus/stable
Suites: $(. /etc/os-release && echo ${VERSION_CODENAME})
Components: main
Architectures: $(dpkg --print-architecture)
Signed-By: /etc/apt/keyrings/zabbly.asc
EOF'
What was installed was Incus LTS 6.0.0. Which makes sense because there is no specifier for Stable in the install. If there is a special installation command to specify Stable over LTS it does not appear to be included with this instruction page. Please advise.
Also, there does not seem to be included with the Installation instructions a “Clean Uninstall” instruction.
The goal of this installation is to run Containers and VMs for server type purposes (this Desktop PC is never turned off) and to run “containerised” apps including WINE apps. Some of these application containers need to have a graphical output in a window or full screen within the base OS which is Mint.
Thank you both for amazingly fast responses and help. Procedure followed below.

NOTE: No BTRFS volumes installed and no sub-volumes registered from what I can tell. Does Incus provide an option to virtualise a sub-volume in BTRFS stored on the root filesystem, which is XFS on this one SSD?
Ok. Did the addition of the stable repository, using:
sh -c 'cat <<EOF > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/zabbly-incus-stable.sources
Enabled: yes
Types: deb
URIs: https://pkgs.zabbly.com/incus/stable

actually fail silently, and when I ran apt install incus the standard Ubuntu repository was used? The output from apt policy did not seem to show the Zabbly repository.
Is it even possible to install stable using Ubuntu apt? The documentation seems to suggest stable is available only on Zabbly’s repository.
My presumption was to think that Mint, being an Ubuntu derivative, was compatible.
