I read recently that Ubuntu officially supports certain Raspberry Pi hardware on the desktop as of version 20.10. See the announcement here: https://ubuntu.com/blog/ubuntu-20-10-on-raspberry-pi-delivers-the-full-linux-desktop-and-micro-clouds


I'm wondering if that official support extends to other flavors such as Ubuntu MATE, Lubuntu, etc?


I know that Ubuntu MATE has made images available for Raspberry Pi for a little while, but I was under the impression that was due to extra development done by the Ubuntu MATE team, and it was not "officially" supported by Canonical.


My guess is that the work done by Canonical will benefit many of the other flavors as well, but I was hoping someone here could confirm.


Thanks for any insight you can provide!

You can achieve this by following the instructions on how to install Ubuntu Server on Raspberry Pi, namely point 5: Installing a desktop.


The following desktop options are available (I checked Ubuntu Packages for Groovy):


Kubuntu:
sudo apt install kubuntu-desktop


Lubuntu:
sudo apt install lubuntu-desktop


Ubuntu Budgie:
sudo apt install ubuntu-budgie-desktop


Ubuntu Mate:
sudo apt install ubuntu-mate-desktop


Xubuntu:
sudo apt install xubuntu-desktop


I didn't find any packages for Ubuntu Kylin or Ubuntu Studio, so I guess those flavors are not available as addon desktop packages for server.
