Dear Guido, Perhaps, 20.04 requires necessarily an EFI partition. As far as I remember, 16.04 was installable with or without EFI.

I am a regular user of Xubuntu since version 16; I tried to install xubuntu 20.04 and the installation failed, hanging with a message saying that it was not possible to format my home partition. I ran the installation process from a USB stick as I did many other times (I normally reinstall the OS twice each year). The disk is OK -- I installed Linux Mint 19.3 without a single problem, but I would prefer to keep xubuntu. I append a system information. The only problem that I detect is that I have a partition for /usr/local not detected by the system information (/dev/sda9).
