You don’t want to run Ubuntu inside a VM on a Raspberry… 😃 Just get Ubuntu for Raspberry Pi here: [Ubuntu for Raspberry Pi | Ubuntu](https://ubuntu.com/raspberry-pi) They even have a video linked there that explains how to install it. ---

Ya gotta patch the kernel for video/screen orientation if you haven’t… And fan… And printer… (The only thing I know is patching is needed) And because that’s kernel v5… it’s a different animal… And I don’t know how to do it… Somebody did a pi os lite for uconsole… you can use that image and install a window manager…xfce or something…maybe? Then patch for printer and fan… I will continue to look out for when some helpful wizard completes the task and shares. ---
