Canonical announced on its official blog that Ubuntu 20.04 LTS has been certified for Raspberry Pi. On the same day that Ubuntu 20.04 LTS was publicly released, full support for Ubuntu Server 20.04 was added to all certified Raspberry Pi devices, allowing users to flash 20.04 onto their Raspberry Pi.
Last November, Canonical stated its intention to support all Raspberry Pi devices and publicly announced its support plan for Raspberry Pi 4. With the release of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, comprehensive support for Raspberry Pi begins with certification.
What does certification mean? After certification, the Pi will receive tested updates and security patches every three weeks. The official explanation states, “When users purchase a certified board (Raspberry Pi) and install Ubuntu, they can be assured that Canonical has conducted thousands of tests to ensure Ubuntu works properly.”
In addition to the official patches and security updates, comprehensive support also means that Canonical will conduct continuous regression testing on each Pi throughout the lifecycle of the Ubuntu version, ensuring compliance with its quality standards.
In summary, Canonical states, “All of this is to ensure that users running Ubuntu on Raspberry Pi can have the best security experience.”
