Canonical made an announcement today, stating that it will offer official support for the NVIDIA CUDA toolkit and make it available through Ubuntu repositories. As part of its partnership with NVIDIA, Canonical will take on the responsibility of providing official support and distribution services for CUDA on Ubuntu systems.
Against the backdrop of the thriving artificial intelligence sector, Canonical is steadfast in its commitment to streamlining the process of running CUDA on Ubuntu Linux, even though the user-space software is closed-source. It's noteworthy that since the advent of the Turing architecture, there have been contemporary open-source NVIDIA GPU kernel drivers tailored for the hardware.
