Ubuntu and Jetson Nano

The Standard Ubuntu 18.04 installation and setup provided by Nvidia for their Jetson line is nearly EOL and in many ways outdated. Addtionally the ROS build for Ubuntu 18.04. uses Python 2 which is already EOL, and newer AI libraries using Python 3 will not or very inconveniently work with ROS Melodic.
