Ubuntu Core Desktop is back in active development with a dedicated, cross-functional team.
As Canonical’s upcoming immutable and attestable desktop OS, it represents the most fundamental shift in Ubuntu’s architecture to date, bringing greater resilience, better security, and more composability.
Over the coming cycle, the team will focus on three key use cases: as a browser-centric machine, a developer workstation, and a gaming machine.

Connected devices stay in the field for years, so their security has to last just as long.
Ubuntu Core keeps devices patched with automatic over-the-air updates that roll back if anything fails. Every release includes 10 years of security maintenance, extendable to 15 years, with secure boot, full-disk encryption, and strict app confinement built in.

Ubuntu 26.10 Stonking Stingray has emerged with agility and grace. 🌊
“Earlier this year, we set out a roadmap for AI on Ubuntu. Stonking Stingray delivers the first milestone through the integration of Myna: a speech-to-text agent that utilizes on-device LLMs. We’ve led Ubuntu’s first AI integration with accessibility to ensure that cutting-edge features are available to all users from day one.
Users will also benefit from enhanced security features. Ubuntu 26.10 completes the migration to Rust-based coreutils, and broadens device support for TPM-backed FDE. Stonking Stingray is symbolic of Ubuntu’s journey to not just build up, but also build out.”
- Jon Seager, VP of Ubuntu Engineering at Canonical

Myna is now available as a technology preview on Ubuntu Desktop, bringing local speech-to-text dictation to your everyday applications.
