Is it possible to install Ubuntu Desktop on Pynq Z2 board rather than a version that uses ssh? I see old tutorials on installing ubuntu linaro on Zynq 7000 SoCs using Xylon IP for display but nothing after 2016. I need to create a type of SoC that has a data stream graphical user interface on the PS side and it can be used as a standalone system. If there is any recent tutorials, can you please let me know?
