You can download the latest version of Desktop Video which includes MediaExpress here: https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/support/family/capture-and-playback
Hopefully the documentation in the download will have the rest of the answers. Linux kernel 2.6.18 or later is required, or 3.12 for full support for hot plugging Thunderbolt devices, so Ubuntu 18 should be fine in that regard. However, the latest version of Desktop Video (v12.2) is only tested by Blackmagic Design on Ubuntu 20.04 and 21.04.
The last version of Desktop Video where the requirements state that BMD have tested on Ubuntu 18.04 is Desktop Video v11.5.1.
