Well, "out since 2019", but since 2021 new Raspberry Pis are basically unobtainable. And most "Pi 4"s are new.

Said Ubuntu Desktop 22.04.2 LTS for Raspberry Pi only "supports" the "Raspberry Pi 400" and "Raspberry Pi 4/Raspberry Pi CM4" +2GB ram configurations. Even Canonical expects pain if you don't use those.
"Raspberry Pi 3" might be useable if you have tamed expectations.
"Raspberry Pi 2" has issues because of it's 32-bit distribution. Using anything "modern" on it probably means compiling stuff (very slowly if on-device) and fixing issues yourself.
"Raspberry Pi Zero" isn't even listed as supported anywhere because attempting to running anything non-purpose built for it is painful.
- giobox 4y agoWell, at least we are coming around to the fact its just a computer! And for what its worth, the Pi 4, 3, 2 and zero have crazy levels of support out there, your description does not match the reality I've lived. You might be surprised just how much runs on a Pi Zero.
