"Canonical, Ubuntu Linux's parent company, is the most visible Linux and open-source business in Vegas. While neither Canonical nor anyone else is showing off a new Linux desktop, the company, in partnership with Nvidia, is demonstrating Ubuntu Linux running on the NVIDIA DGX Spark. This is a desktop supercomputer featuring an Nvidia GB10 Grace Blackwell superchip with 128 GB of RAM and 4 TB of storage for $3,999. Now, this is my kind of desktop PC."
"Canonical is also reminding companies that with the European Union's (EU) Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) starting to take effect on September 11, 2026, anyone selling a device with software in it, which these days is pretty much everyone, must include a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) and be able to track and fix security vulnerabilities. That requirement is way beyond what most IoT vendors can do. Canonical's answer for this upcoming problem is Ubuntu Pro for Devices."
Canonical and Nvidia demonstrate Ubuntu Linux on the NVIDIA DGX Spark desktop supercomputer, which uses an Nvidia GB10 Grace Blackwell superchip with 128 GB of RAM and 4 TB of storage priced at $3,999. Canonical will demo the computer at Booth #10562 in the North Hall. Canonical presents Ubuntu Core as a long-term support layer for IoT devices across industrial, medical, and visual-inspection use cases, including Bosch Rexroth's ctrlX AUTOMATION, Grundium's Ocus scanners, and the Elementary live AI vision system. The European Union's Cyber Resilience Act requires Software Bill of Materials and vulnerability tracking from September 11, 2026. Ubuntu Pro for Devices offers IoT manufacturers support to meet those CRA requirements. Linux presence at CES is most visible in embedded, automotive, and edge gear, and many top-tier televisions run Linux.
