So I think we can all agree that this has become a canonical question: How to install Android Studio on Ubuntu?

I would like to create my own, better version.

If I were to do so, would the community be okay with changing which question we use for dupes of installing Android Studio?

Here's why I'd like to create an entirely new question and answer:

The current best-voted answer:

• Won't work for 64-bit Ubuntu beacuse it doesn't mention that you have to install the 32-bit libs

• Says to add a PPA to get Java, and AFAIK Android Studio now bundles a JDK, so you wouldn't even need to get Java

• Lists a long procedure for creating a .desktop file, when there is already an option to create one automatically from within Android Studio's main menu

• Doesn't mention you should download the separate SDK package

FYI, I'd be okay with making the answer a community wiki if everyone really wants that; rep farming isn't my intent, although I wouldn't mind some extra rep :)
