These instructions on their own are not clear enough to help someone who isn't an expert with LInux. To provide a seamless adoption of linux by hobbyist or newbies some examples are provided and some more detail is given.

This absolutely needs to be added to the documentation for the following reasons:
- This information (in the context of Rosetta) is not found anywhere else. Not in any blog posts or youtube tutorials.
- ChatGPT and Claude both provided wrong urls for this.
- The urls are different for
armandamdbinaries. The distro maintainers do not make this clear. - Would save hours of debugging time in our users.
- Providing a gold copy of the sources file would serve as a reference backup once people start tinkering and mess up their file. Ubuntu does not document or provide a clear ARM template for this file in any of their documentation. (I lost hours trying to figure this stuff out)

This makes more sense as a new Ubuntu-focused guide rather than in the Rosetta general guide. Look at the debian.md page for an example.

| To use the Snap Store you need to register multiple CPU architectures with the kernal, add the `qemu-user` userspace emulator, and confirm `binfmt` integration so the kernal can transparently hand `amd64` binaries to the rosetta emulator. |

Why do you need qemu-user? Rosetta should provide the emulation.
