Canonical recently released Ubuntu 26.04 LTS 'Resolute Raccoon,' integrating two major GPU computing frameworks, NVIDIA CUDA and AMD ROCm, into its official software repositories, thereby ending the challenge of configuring GPU computing environments for Linux users. Users can now deploy a complete GPU computing stack with just a single command. This version is based on the Linux 7.0 kernel and comes with the GNOME 50 desktop environment by default. It removes the Xorg login option, fully transitioning to the Wayland display protocol while retaining XWayland compatibility for X11 applications. The recommended system configuration has been upgraded to 6GB of memory, supporting Intel Panther Lake processors and integrated NPUs. It offers five years of free updates, extendable to ten years through the Ubuntu Pro service. In terms of developer tools, it adds support for Java CRaC, Kotlin 2.0.4, .NET 10, and the Zig programming language, while also providing Nvidia CUDA and AMD ROCm tools and introducing a dual-track container and virtual machine stack.
