I had to modify the default setup script as below, to mask distro as Ubuntu: [1]
Process
#1 Getting things ready
curl -1sLf 'https://dl.redpanda.com/nzc4ZYQK3WRGd9sy/redpanda/cfg/setup/bash.deb.sh' | distro=ubuntu version=20.04 codename=focal sudo -E bash
Finally, try running apt search redpanda and check if there's the setup. You can gently install with the apt command now:
#2 Install and tune
sudo apt install redpanda redpanda-console
You can find this as the installation is completed:
Redpanda Console is installed succesfully. To start Console, run the
following:
sudo systemctl start redpanda-console
Setting up redpanda (23.3.1-1) ...

To get the most out of the fastest queue in the west, enable production mode by
running the following:
sudo rpk redpanda mode production
followed by:
sudo rpk redpanda tune all
sudo systemctl start redpanda
This will autotune your system to give you the best performance from Redpanda.
You can get more information on the tuning parameters here:
https://docs.redpanda.com/docs/introduction/autotune/
I also ran this in sequence (to go to production mode). Find you redpanda console at http://localhost:8080/overview.
Here's how tuning looked like for the first time when I did it:
user@laptop:~$ sudo rpk redpanda tune all

You can expect this kind of dashboard opening on that URL.
