[xubuntu-users] Xubuntu on the Raspberry Pi 2/3/3B+

[Eric Curtin]

What I'd be extremely interested in, is a xubuntu rpi3 aarch64 disk
image that "just works", like the fedora 28 aarch64 minimal one:

https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/28/Spins/aarch64/images/Fedora-Minimal-28-1.1.aarch64.raw.xz

Or the openSUSE Leap 42.3 xfce aarch64 one:

http://download.opensuse.org/ports/aarch64/distribution/leap/42.3/appliances/openSUSE-Leap42.3-ARM-XFCE-raspberrypi3.aarch64-2017.07.26-Build1.1.raw.xz

What I generally do at the moment is run either fedora or openSUSE on
the rpi3 with an Ubuntu docker container running inside because Ubuntu
rpi3 support for aarch64 isn't as good or easy to work with. I wish
this changed.
