Although Raspberry Pi 4 already supported Ubuntu 19.10, Rhys Davies, one of the makers of Ubuntu’s IoT and Canonical devices, confirms that most Raspberry Pi models are Ubuntu 20.04 Canonical certified. And we tell you why it is very good news.
When Raspberry Pi 4 arrived with its greater power and, above all, more RAM, many of us got excited thinking about operating systems that did not work in previous versions (because they were heavier) and that we could now use.
Ubuntu is one of the most appetizing Linux distros both for the regularity of its updates and for its security and, above all, for its performance and appearance, very attractive thanks to a good color palette, animations and details that other operating systems We have been used to it over the past few years.
Ubuntu’s new step on Raspberry Pi ensures a future in which developers and users who want to experiment with the system have things a little easier thanks to Canonical certification, but it is not something for everyone. And is that, as we read in Raspberrypiparatorpes, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is a version that does not work for a team “to walk around the house”.
This edition of Ubuntu is distributed in two versions, the Server, for servers, and the Core, for IoT devices. Neither version includes a traditional desktop, so we will have to be used to consoles and they are distros, mainly, to work, mount servers or experiment.
Regardless of what this limits the use in a user who wants the version for office automation, the good thing that Ubuntu 20.04 is Canonical in Raspberry Pi 2, 3 and 3+, in addition to Raspberry Pi 4, of course, is that the system You will receive security patches every three weeks, and if there are any errors, the Canonical team will fix them in one day.
Davies explains it well in his blog inside Ubuntu since he exposes what it means that Raspberry Pi is certified by Ubuntu. Before releasing any kind of update or patch, the Canonical team performs thousands of tests on the system and commits that the Raspberry Pi does not ‘break’ with any faulty patch.
