How to read a 1-wire temp sensor on an Ubuntu 22.04 PC?

[Bo Berglund]

I would like to know if it is possible to connect a DS18B20 1-wire device to an
Ubuntu PC (running on PC hardware) and if so how?

On a Raspberry Pi running the Pi-OS (Debian variant) it is just a matter of
configuring the RPi for the 1-wire use and then connect the sensor to +Vcc, GND
and the 1-wire line with a pull-up to Vcc and it works.

Can something similar be done on PC hardware running Ubuntu?

I have a few candidates, both Mini type and laptops.
