After the clickbait-y headline that's just Canonical sinking into mediocrity once again, there's this:

Ubuntu is preparing for the AI PC, not just Linux desktops

Seager also described a push toward proper GPU, NPU, and DPU support, hardware partnerships with NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel, and CPU architecture optimization that makes Ubuntu run faster on newer chips without dropping support for older ones.

Ubuntu is also betting on local-first AI, building “inference snaps” that pick the right model and quantization automatically, along with early exploration into agentic workflows at the OS level. Ubuntu 26.04 LTS already ships with native support for both NVIDIA CUDA and AMD ROCm.

I don't see any of those 3 as good, or even decent choices. I distrohopped initially, and did it again recently out of interest. Most people will just go off of searches, forum posts, and trashtubers though, which may lead them to believe that linux is crap due to ending up with crappy distros, and/or de's

The variety of options are a pro, and a con, as are of course the opinions
