As far as I know, from reading the Ubuntu Studio blog, the situation is
this: the 20.04 image/installer for Ubuntu Studio is still uses XFCE as
the default installed GUI. Apparently, in some near-future version, the
project will be switching to KDE - but that has not happened yet. At
present, the project devs apparently recommend installing Kubuntu and
then installing the Ubuntu Studio environment package to layer it over
the top of KDE.
But, with Ubuntu Studio on XFCE, if one wants KDE, one can simply
install the KDE GUI and choose it at login time. I'm guessing that, when
Ubuntu Studio goes KDE-based, you'll simply be able to install the XFCE
GUI and choose that instead at login time (you make the choice once, and
then it's the default option in subsequent logins).
So you'll probably still be able to use XFCE in the future. And Ubuntu
Studio remains XFCE-based in 20.04.
Hope this helps.

hi list,
is KDE mandatory for ubuntustudio 20.04 ? Because I am working now
for
some years with Xubuntu - aka XFCE on the 18.04 - and I am not
really
happy with the idea, that KDE should be the "New holy gral" for
Ubuntustudio 20.04.
If this would happen, I think I would change to AV-Studio, which
have
the xfce-environment. For shure it is debian-buster-based, but as I
can
read some informations about buster, it is really really very
stable.
KDE was never "my environment" and also I don't like it for the
future
- also not in connection with ubuntustudio 20.04.
So I hope, it would be possible to run ubuntustudio 20.04 also with
xfce and not only with KDE.
bye hans
