I have realized that edubuntu is no longer available for recent Ubuntus, and that the projects has been somehow replaced by ubuntued. Ubuntued seems to provide the following bundle of packages (in form of meta-packages):

  • ubuntued-meta-preschool
  • ubuntued-meta-primary
  • ubuntued-meta-secondary
  • ubuntued-meta-tertiary

As ubuntued seems to be based on Ubuntu, I assume to find and install these packages on my Ubuntu 20.04 all I need to do, instead of installing ex-novo ubuntued, is to add their repositories. But which are those?

Alternatively, are there available "just" some curated meta-packages for the "standard" Ubuntu?

    The link you provided lists the individual applications, which are all already in the Ubuntu repositories. You don't need to install a specific respin of Ubuntu, you don't need to add any non-stock repositories, and you don't need the meta-packages. Simply look at the list and install what you want to use: sudo apt install package1 package2 package3. It's really that easy. – user535733 Dec 13 '20 at 13:29

    Thank you, I appreciated the answers. However I feel a bit odd that the question has been labelled "off topic" because "is not about an official Ubuntu flavor", as it is clearly stated I am trying to find the solution using "standard ubuntu"... it seems around StackExchange sites there are more and more people whose primary satisfaction is to close questions... – Antonello Dec 27 '20 at 14:39

    Voting to reopen: Your primary question is seems to be "How do I add the ubuntued repositories to a 20.04 system?" which seems on-topic to me. Were it about installing ubuntued, that would be off-topic. Consider a minor edit to emphasize that your question is about an Ubuntu 20.04 system. – user535733 Dec 27 '20 at 18:11

    I’m voting to close this question because it's needlessly confusing now that Edubuntu has been resurrected in 23.04. Release Notes – user535733 Apr 24 '23 at 00:50

You still can get Educational packages on any release of Ubuntu. They are named:

  • Package astro-education

    Educational astronomy applications

  • Package ezgo-education

    Debian EzGo Education

  • Package games-education

    Debian's educational games

  • Package junior-education

    Debian Jr. education applications

  • Package kdeedu

    educational applications from the official KDE release

If you want to get some new taste of Ubuntu in education, then check Linux L-i-f-e (Linux for Education based on Ubuntu MATE).

Well, this answer can be changed now: Edubuntu is back!

Furthermore, there are metapackages for each age level:

  • Package ubuntu-edu-preschool

Preschool age level

  • Package ubuntu-edu-primary

Primary/Elementary age level

  • Package ubuntu-edu-secondary

Secondary/Middle/High School age level

  • Package ubuntu-edu-tertiary

Tertiary/College/University age level

I hope this helps!
