How to install educational software meta-packages on Ubuntu 20.04?

  • 772

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?

    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).
