Canonical plans to make RISC-V a fully supported architecture in Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, expected in April 2026. This significant endorsement aims to facilitate the adoption of RISC-V hardware in various sectors, providing long-term support, security patches, and parity with x86 and ARM. The move comes as RISC-V hardware gains maturity, especially in China, and is anticipated to enhance Canonical's position in the market.
