Ubuntu Concept expands to CIX Technology P1

Ubuntu Concept was first released for Snapdragon X Elite systems, and it got lots of positive and strong reception due to the hard work that they’ve done, starting from November 2024. It was an ambitious work that tried to get Ubuntu working on as many Snapdragon X Elite systems as possible.

Now, the team has taken the effort further and expanded Ubuntu Concept to include CIX Technology P1. The new images were created for this platform, and is derived from Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Resolute Raccoon that was released last month. Those concept images were made as a tech preview for developers and for power users.

This concept image is focused on being a developer-focused image intended for early testing on CIX platforms. It’s based on the latest Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Resolute Raccoon version, which brings all the great benefits that this version of Ubuntu brings, such as the updated GNOME desktop. Linux 7.0 is used in this concept image, with some modifications that are tailored for this platform, and you can see the custom kernel’s source code here.

The team is trying to avoid device trees wherever possible to maximize both reliability and maintainability, while making use of ACPI to make sure that computers that utilize the CIX platform become reliable when using Ubuntu. This concept image, however, is experimental, and is not intended for production use.

Here are some of the platforms that the team has tested:

• MetaComputing AI PC Framework Laptop
• Minisform MS-R1
• Orange Pi 6 Plus
• Radxa Orion O6
• Radxa Orion O6N

El futuro de los servidores 🏗️

Los servidores viven su transformación más radical por tres grandes tendencias:

🔌 Eficiencia con ARM: Arquitecturas como AWS Graviton devoran el mercado al consumir hasta un 45% menos energía que x86.

🧠 Invasión de GPUs/NPUs: Los servidores ya no giran en torno al CPU; hoy se diseñan alrededor de la Inteligencia Artificial.

🔓 RISC-V: La arquitectura de código abierto avanza como el estándar libre para chips propios.

Aquí haciendo cirugía de una imagen de un disco porque algún vago al otro lado del mundo decidió que para qué quemarse las neuronas si podía hacer que la imagen tuviese *34GB* en lugar de los 12 que realmente necesita.

¿Quién no tiene ninguna llave USB de 64 GB a mano?

Ich brauche mal euer geballtes Know How.
Habt ihr Empfehlungen für einen Rechner im 19 Zoll Gehäuse mit einer CPU in ARM Architektur? Muss nicht die Mega high power Kiste sein. Und sollte bezahlbar bleiben. Linux muss drauf laufen.
Idealerweise nur 1HE. Ich halte das für besser, als mir eine 19 Zoll Frontblende zu kaufen, in die ich 5 Raspberry Pi einbauen kann.

The future of Linux is cross-architecture!

Ever wondered what it takes to run your favourite x86 apps and games smoothly on modern ARM hardware? Watch Tony Wasserka’s LAS session, "Breaking architecture barriers: x86 gaming on ARM," to see how the community is bridging the gap.

For two decades, buying a server meant buying Intel. That era is ending.

AMD just hit a record 46.2% of server CPU revenue in Q1 2026. ARM-based chips — built by AWS, Google, and Microsoft on ARM's licensed architecture — now account for 17–21% of shipments.
