Ubuntu on RISC-V
Canonical is actively involved in advancing the RISC-V ecosystem by empowering developers to bring their products to market faster with a stable and reliable platform. Ubuntu’s open-source foundation aligns naturally with RISC-V’s open and collaborative model. Our ambition is to make Ubuntu available on as many RISC-V platforms as possible – something achievable only through strong partnerships with the community and ecosystem.
To drive this vision, Canonical has established a dedicated RISC-V program, and we welcome partners and contributors to collaborate with us.
