https://ubuntu-mate.org/ has been available for Pi 2+3 for awhile. Not sure if it's available for Pi 4 yet. Edit: Kali linux does work fine on a Pi 4 though.
They mention you need to hook your Pi to a keyboard and monitor which is kind of funny for something called "server".
Maybe you can skip this step and connect directly via ssh like with Raspbian but it's not mentioned.

Raspbian disabled that as a default a while ago because there's no good way to have ssh login by default without having default username and password be public info.
They could do something like have the default password be something embedded in the silicon like Apple's SE master key? And the print that key on the underside of the Pi so only people with physical access can read it.

IIRC part of the sd card is mountable in every OS. It would be possible to have the user supply the wanted credentials on that partition.
True, but I'm glad it's still an option as I didn't feel like buying a micro-hdmi->hdmi cable just to log once ...
Good to see a bigger distro supporting the Pi 4, with 64 bit available too.
Hopefully with Ubuntu 64-bit on Raspberry Pi, ZFS should work.
Not sure how much I'd trust it yet, though.

I've been disappointed by the lack of compatability at launch. I've only gotten Raspbian to work so far but it lacks a nice GUI for enterprise wifi setup.
I can't wait to try this out.
