Does this mark the first availability of a non-Raspbian OS for the Pi 4?
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.
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.
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.

I can't wait to try this out.
Maybe you can skip this step and connect directly via ssh like with Raspbian but it's not mentioned.
