It was all covered here:
https://ubuntustudio.org/2020/04/ubuntu-studio-20-04-lts-released/

The website should be your first source of information, not a mailing list.

The Plasma desktop we're using for 20.10 is themed exactly the same as KDE.
And, if you have that opinion, it's clear you haven't even looked at Plasma
in several years, perhaps even decades. There are some screenshots as to
the progress made in the news section on the website, and you'll notice
that the Plasma desktop for 20.10 looks nearly identical to our default
Xfce for 20.04 LTS.

Remember: Ubuntu Studio is Ubuntu and is not entwined with a destop. For
the *supported* method of installing Ubuntu Studio on a different Ubuntu
flavor (therefore, desktop), see here:
https://ubuntustudio.org/ubuntu-studio-installer. Long story short, you'd
use Xubuntu for Xfce.

Additionally, nobody is forcing you to use 20.10. 20.04 is an LTS release
and is supported for 3 years.

I'm going to be blunt here: you're not paying much attention in general, to
either the website or to this mailing list where I've answered these
questions ad-nauseum. This is literally the third time I've answered this
question this week. Please read the website before posting on this mailing
list in the future as all of these questions have been answered.

I mean, I'm sorry to sound rude, but you're simply not paying attention to
already published information and answered questions.
