Running Ubuntu 21.04 64-bit Desktop Linux on the Raspberry Pi
There is a new version of Ubuntu which is now at version 21.04. The version number consists of the year and month it was released so this is from April 2021.
For this version (and the previous version 6 months ago) the Ubuntu releases now include a version of the 64-bit desktop version for the Raspberry Pi. I haven’t upgraded my PC yet because of a bug that’s resulted in a delay to the upgrades. The bug is mainly for older hardware. It shouldn’t be a problem with my laptop as it’s fairly modern and new installs should work okay. The bug won’t affect the Raspberry Pi version.
This video goes through the install steps and gives a comparison between Raspberry Pi OS (32-bit) and Ubuntu (64-bit)
