I am trying to install Oracle 19c, and It needs X-display so I typed xhost +, but it doesn't work. Any ideas to solve this problem? Also, I want to know that Ubuntu literally support Oracle 19c.

Oracle does NOT support Ubuntu. From the documentation:

https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/19/ladbi/operating-system-checklist-for-oracle-database-installation-on-linux.html#GUID-E5C0A90E-7750-45D9-A8BC-C7319ED934F0

The following Linux x86-64 kernels are supported:

• Oracle Linux 8.1 with the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel 6: 5.4.17-2011.0.7.el8uek.x86_64 or later Oracle Linux 8 with the Red Hat Compatible kernel: 4.18.0-80.el8.x86_64 or later

• Oracle Linux 7.4 with the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel 4: 4.1.12-124.19.2.el7uek.x86_64 or later Oracle Linux 7.4 with the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel 5: 4.14.35-1818.1.6.el7uek.x86_64 or later Oracle Linux 7.7 with the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel 6: 5.4.17-2011.4.4.el7uek.x86_64 or later Oracle Linux 7.5 with the Red Hat Compatible Kernel: 3.10.0-862.11.6.el7.x86_64 or later

• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8: 4.18.0-80.el8.x86_64 or later

• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.5: 3.10.0-862.11.6.el7.x86_64 or later

• SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15: 4.12.14-23-default or later

• SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP3: 4.4.162-94.72-default or later

Ubuntu is an entirely different branch of Linux, and no matter how many people claim they have hacked it to work, it is NOT supported and results are NOT guaranteed.
