Ubuntu Support? #1

I have Ubuntu Server running for Raspberry 4 pi and wanted to use the LCD display from your product. I was wondering if there is a way to get this running without going to Raspberry OS. I plan on using it in my home lab for Kubernetes and other. thanks

You'll have to manually download and install raspi-config from somewhere like https://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/pool/main/r/raspi-config/raspi-config_20210212_all.deb to get I2C enabled (or manually enable it). And also you'll have to install the fonts-dejavu packages (as the Ubuntu server images don't usually include fonts) but after that, python is python, just follow the instructions as if you were running it on Raspbian
