Yes there are. You can find the installer images for Ubuntu Desktop on arm64 in the daily builds:
Latest: https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/
24.04 LTS: https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/24.04/release/
22.04 LTS: https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/22.04/release/
Note that these images are not officially supported. They should be stable, however, and they are created by the Ubuntu project
Answer from MinelsGO on askubuntu.comHey guys,
a few month ago, ubuntu 20.04 arm64 desktop iso was available for download on the ubuntu official website, but it has been removed for some reason... does anybody still have it ?
Cannot find Ubuntu 20.04 ARM64 desktop image
I thought the 20.10 release was the first ubuntu for the pi release that had a version to come with a desktop.
before that you had to do a server install then install the DE.
you might have seen some unofficial builds for earlier ubuntu versions if they came with a DE

Canonical has offered a Raspberry Pi image for Ubuntu Server for some time, and it has been possible to install a desktop, but what has changed is that there is now an official Ubuntu desktop image for Raspberry Pi 4.

More on reddit.comOther versions of Ubuntu have been produced for the popular single-board computer over the years but these have been stripped down, pared back, or GUI-less versions like Ubuntu Core, Ubuntu Server, etc.
Can we expect a 21.04 ARM (ARM64) desktop version ?
You can apt install ubuntu-desktop on a server image and get a fully functional desktop.

Installing Ubuntu Desktop for arm64 using Ubuntu Server ISO
At the end of the installation, you will have Ubuntu Server installed without any GUI. To install Ubuntu Desktop, log in and run:
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop
$ sudo reboot
Hello, I am 100% sure, there used to be Ubuntu 20.04 ARM64 desktop image on official Ubuntu servers, but now its not there.
I have found 64-bit ARM (ARMv8/AArch64) desktop image daily build, I have downloaded it and tried Disks -> Restore image, but Pi says it doesnt see it. Then I tried flash it Etcher and same problem - Pi 4 doesnt see it. Then I tried Raspberry Imager, but it does not support .iso.
My last chance is to install 20.04 server and then download desktop on it.
Does anyone know where can I get the original 20.04 desktop ARM64 image ?
Or maybe I am flashing the ISO wrong way ? Any help appreciated, thanks
I have seen that there are daily builds that are arm compatible
Hi everyone
I'm trying to virtualize Ubuntu on the VMWare Fusion preview on my M1 Macbook Air for some work related to ROS. I've been able to get 22.04 running just fine but can't seem to get 20.04.4 running. It seems like something with the kernel in 20.04.4 seems to trigger a bug in VMWare so I've been trying to find the ARM desktop image for 20.04.3 as that was reported to be working. I found this archived site: https://web.archive.org/web/20211124205207/https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/focal/daily-live/current/ that shows that a 20.04.3 ARMv8/AArch64 iso was available at some time but it's not there anymore as the current site only gives the iso for 20.04.4. I'd appreciate it a lot if anyone could help me find the ARM iso for 20.04.3.
Thanks!
This is my first time downloading Ubuntu, and I’m having some issues with it. I have a MacBook Air 2020, and I don’t know how to install it. I’ve downloaded VirtualBox, but I’m not sure what to do next.
