Desktopify is a versatile script to convert Ubuntu Server for the Raspberry Pi to one of the official Ubuntu desktop flavours.

Desktopify helps in setting up a full Ubuntu Desktop environment on a Raspberry Pi. Initially created as a proof of concept, it has now evolved to support multiple Ubuntu desktop flavours.

1. Download an Ubuntu Server image for Raspberry Pi and write it to an SDHC card.
2. Boot the Ubuntu Server SDHC on a Raspberry Pi 2, 3, or 4.
3. Log in to the Raspberry Pi using:
   • Username: ubuntu
   • Password: ubuntu
   • You will be prompted to change the password.
4. Clone the project:

   git clone https://github.com/urquiaernesto/desktopify.git
   cd desktopify
   sudo ./desktopify --de ubuntu-mate
   
   
   

./desktopify --de <desktop environment>

Available desktop environments:
  lubuntu
  kubuntu
  ubuntu
  ubuntu-budgie
  ubuntu-kylin
  ubuntu-mate
  ubuntu-studio

You can also pass the optional --oem option which will run a setup wizard on the next boot.

sudo ./desktopify --de ubuntu-mate
