Canonical Declares RISC-V Desktop Mainstream 2026
Canonical announced in a joint Ubuntu and hardware partnerships statement that it declares 2026 'the year of Linux on the desktop,' predicting RISC-V will move from lab trials into commercial desktop and server products. The company says Ubuntu now targets the RVA23 specification (ratified by RISC‑V International in 2024) and upgraded Ubuntu to RVA23 in 2025 to enable partners to ship RVA23-based systems at scale.
