For the well-known series of Raspberry Pi minicomputers, which have grown beyond the realm of education to include much more, Martin Wimpress has announced the release of Ubuntu MATE 22.04 LTS.
It should go without saying at this time that Ubuntu MATE is a recognized part of the Ubuntu family. It only has three years of support, which is much than adequate for a home user who should have skipped the final LTS by the end of the cycle, compared to the LTS versions of the system from which it comes.
The Raspberry Pi mini-PCs, especially the Raspberry Pi 2 versions, Raspberry Pi 3, Raspberry Pi 3+, Raspberry Pi 4, and Raspberry Pi CM4 (Compute Module 4) are supported by Ubuntu MATE 22.04 LTS, which now increases its support for the ARM architecture.
The Ubuntu MATE 22.04 LTS releases for these mini-PCs are desktop-oriented, thus here are the key distinguishing characteristics, beginning with MATE 1.26's inclusion. This is in contrast to the Ubuntu builds for Raspberry Pi, which are more server and IoT-focused.
With compatibility with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, HDMI, the 3.5mm jack connection, and other desktop system features, the Raspberry Pi's use is ultimately up to the user, especially considering the variety of functions that some of the aforementioned interfaces have taken on. Older Raspberry Pi models would undoubtedly "thank" running a light environment like MATE, even though newer versions should be able to do anything without a problem.
It's already a fact, though. Raspberry Pi versions with 32-bit and 64-bit ARM CPUs are supported by official releases of Ubuntu MATE 22.04 LTS. The distribution's website has a download area where you may get images.
