Ubuntu 23.10 for Pi
The ever dapper Les Pounder has been using Ubuntu since Dapper Drake and has been looking forward to sampling this Pi-based iteration.
IN BRIEF
This is the latest Ubuntu OS for the Raspberry Pi 4 and the newly released Raspberry Pi 5. It provides a slick desktop experience on the Pi 5, but it’s a little sluggish on the Pi 4. GPIO access is there, but your HATs won’t work – Ubuntu is not alone in that issue, however. If you like the Ubuntu OS, but need it on a Raspberry Pi, look no further.
Ubuntu 23.10 for the Raspberry Pi sees the desktop OS going toe to U toe with the official Raspberry Pi OS. But it seems that this time, Ubuntu has the winning combination. Ubuntu 23.10 is for Raspberry Pis with 4GB or more RAM. This limits it to the Raspberry Pi 4, Compute Module 4 and the Pi 5. We tested it on a Pi 4 and Pi 5 with 8GB of RAM, running the CPU at stock speeds.
