Ubuntu 20.04 LTS added full support for the Raspberry Pi

Canonical announced on its official blog that Ubuntu 20.04 LTS has passed Raspberry Pi certification. Ubuntu Server 20.04 has been added to all certified Raspberry Pi, users can flash Ubuntu 20.04 to Raspberry Pi.

In November of last year, Canonical stated that it would support all Raspberry Pi devices, and announced the support plan for Raspberry Pi 4. With the release of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, full support for Raspberry Pi starts with certification.

What does certification mean? After being certified, Pi will receive tested updates and security patches every three weeks. “Full support also means that Canonical performs continuous regression testing on each Pi throughout the lifecycle of the Ubuntu release. We continue to run tests to ensure an industry-grade standard of quality.  Hardware can only be advertised as “Ubuntu Certified” if Canonical is sure it will deliver the most optimal user experience.”

In addition to the officially released patches and security updates, full support also means that Canonical conducts continuous regression testing of each Pi throughout the life cycle of the Ubuntu version and ensures its quality standards.
