Hi rj_92,

Yes, we plan to have Ubuntu 20.04 support at 2021/2H, please refer to the SW roadmap: Jetson Roadmap | NVIDIA Developer

well, if you need ubuntu 20.04 (or 20.10, or develop) you can try to swap bionic with focal (or groovy, or devel to go rolling) in /etc/apt/sources.list and try
i just tried devel today and guess what? everything seems to work. I had some conflicts but nothing too difficult to solve.
On the other hand, if you need a newer kernel, it’s a completely different beast, for now we ate stuck with 4.9

Thank you for the quick response.

Requested features: KVM and xubuntu.
Xubuntu is more responsive and muhc lower on resources compared to Gnome without really missing out anything.

SW roadmap does not mention Ubuntu 20.04 at all, am I missing something?

Please support it, all our development machines/envs were moved to 20.04 early last year already.

The roadmap page shows Jetpack 5.x in Q1-2022 will be based on Ubuntu 20.04. However it also says production release of 5.0 will be in 2H-2022.
