Ubuntu 20.10 Groovy Gorilla update brings Ubuntu Desktop to the Raspberry Pi
October 23, 2020

Canonical has announced the release of Ubuntu 20.10, aka ‘Groovy Gorilla’. The big news in this release is a newly optimized stack that brings Ubuntu Desktop and Server to the Raspberry Pi range. Since the launch of the Raspberry Pi 4 in 2019, the diminutive computer line has been increasingly sympathetic to being used as a desktop alternative, and the arrival of a tailored version of the biggest Linux GUI (Android excluded, of course) is a significant step on that road.

“In this release, we celebrate the Raspberry Pi Foundation’s commitment to put open computing in the hands of people all over the world,” said Mark Shuttleworth, CEO at Canonical. “We are honored to support that initiative by optimizing Ubuntu on the Raspberry Pi, whether for personal use, educational purposes, or as a foundation for their next business venture.”
Ubuntu 20.10 can also run on RP 2 and 3 variants but only with 4GB RAM and above – if you go lower than that, you’ll probably get a smooth installation but a glitchy experience.

For more advanced users, edge on-demand computing gets a big boost with a ‘micro cloud’ stack, combining MAAS, LXD, MicroK8s, and Ceph, offering lightweight, low profile cloud instances for a variety of use cases from AI to smart city management.

Ubuntu 20.10 is available now, free of charge for most users, with images for desktop, server, cloud and IoT, as well as a dedicated Raspberry Pi build, available to download from the Ubuntu website.

Canonical has announced that Ubuntu 20.10 Groovy Gorilla is set to lose support on July 22, 2021. As the release was one of those between the Long-Term Support (LTS) releases, it only has nine months of life. Those running this particular version of Ubuntu are urged to upgrade their systems to Ubuntu 21.04 Hirsute Hippo which has been available since April.

To assist you in upgrading your computer, Canonical has published a guide that runs through everything you need to know and do to get to the latest version.

After July 22, systems with Ubuntu 20.10 can still be used but they won’t receive important security updates. Quickly, you’ll notice your web browser become outdated which will only increase your risk.
