The RPi 3B+ performs significantly slower than the RPi 4 and isn't ideal for running a full desktop version of Ubuntu. If you don’t need a desktop setup, consider using Ubuntu Server instead. For a more suitable experience on ARM A53 chips like the 3B+, Raspbian and Armbian are excellent choices—they’re Debian-based and closely match Ubuntu in functionality.

I've been exploring the reasons behind Ubuntu Desktop's minimum requirements—specifically its need for at least 4GB RAM, with 3B+ only offering 1GB. Speaking of that, Raspberry Pi OS seems like a solid alternative. It's actually performed quite well.

I understand being late to the event, but I’m unsure about a 32-bit Ubuntu option for the Pi 3 since it’s built for 64-bit systems. Even with a compatible version, performance would likely be poor.

Ubuntu Desktop is approved only for Pi 4 because of its RAM needs. As noted by others, you might consider the server or core editions. There may be certain capabilities or tools in Ubuntu that Raspberry PI OS lacks. https://ubuntu.com/download/raspberry-pi
