I have been using Ubuntu Studio for a number of years on old laptops and have always installed it via USB. However, I have splashed out on a purpose built Ubuntu Laptop and 20.04.2LTS came pre-installed.

My query is, is there an easy way to "convert" the installation to Ubuntu Studio?

I found this Installing Ubuntu Studio but its 7 years old and i don't really want to break anything.

Thanks Ed

The process of Ubuntu Studio installation is straight-forward.
You need to install relevant main task-package by

sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-desktop^

If you know your own creativity area, then install more tasks:

Task Package Purpose
ubuntustudio-audio^ Audio recording and editing suite
ubuntustudio-fonts^ Large selection of font packages
ubuntustudio-graphics^ 2D/3D creation and editing suite
ubuntustudio-photography^ Photograph touchup and editing suite
ubuntustudio-publishing^ Publishing applications
ubuntustudio-video^ Video creation and editing suite

    Brilliant, Thank you so much! :-) – Ed Tombs May 18 '21 at 10:24
  • So (thank you, and) after installing these && reboot, my LUKS prompt says Ubuntu Studio but everything else still says Ubuntu ... odd state! Any suggestions to update the logos in Gnome? – Chaim Eliyah Dec 04 '22 at 21:47
  • I figured it out: If you want the ubuntustudio branding, you must select KDE. That was fun, but I'm back on Gnome with my ubuntu vanilla branding now. (: – Chaim Eliyah Dec 04 '22 at 23:59

For this purpose the package ubuntustudio-installer exists:

sudo apt install ubuntustudio-installer

and run the installer.
