Ubuntu is growing faster on Windows 11 than on native Linux PCs, says Canonical (www.windowslatest.com)

After the clickbait-y headline that's just Canonical sinking into mediocrity once again, there's this:

Ubuntu is preparing for the AI PC, not just Linux desktops

Seager also described a push toward proper GPU, NPU, and DPU support, hardware partnerships with NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel, and CPU architecture optimization that makes Ubuntu run faster on newer chips without dropping support for older ones.

Ubuntu is also betting on local-first AI, building “inference snaps” that pick the right model and quantization automatically, along with early exploration into agentic workflows at the OS level. Ubuntu 26.04 LTS already ships with native support for both NVIDIA CUDA and AMD ROCm.

I sure hope they fork it. Not that anyone should be using Ubuntu in the first place but they sure do anyway.
