The easy way to install Ubuntu 16.04 on GPU host is to buy the host with Ubuntu installed by the vendor.
I like this vendor:
A more difficult way is to replace windows 10 with Ubuntu 16.04; this might offer some cost savings.
I installed Ubuntu on a GPU host I bought from Costco.
I captured photos and now serve them from Heroku:

I offer some advice.
Avoid installing both Windows and Ubuntu on the same laptop; do not create a 'Dual Boot' laptop.
All of of my laptops are either windows-only or Linux-only.
In my experience, Dual Boot hosts are difficult to setup and they are unreliable after they are setup.
I do, however, often run Linux inside of VirtualBox which runs inside of windows.
One problem with running Linux in VirtualBox is that I have not figured out how to connect that Linux with the GPU in the host.
Linux running inside of VirtualBox only has access to the CPU.
