Xubuntu has Xfce with additional packages and default configurations that differ from Xfce's.

What are the steps for LightDM-based distros (Xubuntu, Ubuntu Server with XFCE (e.g. Raspberry PI 3), Ubuntu Unity, Ubuntu Mate, Ubuntu Budgie)?

I decided to do a clean Xubuntu 20.04 install on an external USB hard disk to test the new release and see how things would go.

Well, you do not need to install Xubuntu from scratch. Boot Ubuntu, open Terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and run the command ´sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop´.
