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.

#StonkingStingray brings us the debut of Myna: Ubuntu’s speech-to-text agent. Named after the Myna bird (known for its ability to mimic human speech), Myna is an opt-in feature in Ubuntu 26.10, designed to provide speech recognition with clear visual feedback while you speak. Ubuntu 26.10 is now available to download. Learn more: canonical.com/blog/canonical…

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 Learn more in our press release: ubuntu.com/blog/canonical-re…

Myna is now available as a technology preview on Ubuntu Desktop, bringing local speech-to-text dictation to your everyday applications. This optional feature supports local speech recognition engines like Parakeet, Whisper, and FunASR: no internet connection is required after the models are downloaded, and your audio is not stored or uploaded.

Linux security is built for environments where resilience matters. From vulnerability management to long-term maintenance, securing open source at enterprise scale requires a robust approach across the software lifecycle. Robustness comes from how those practices work together and hold up over time. What’s new in security for Ubuntu 26.04 LTS? → ubuntu.com/blog/ubuntu-26-04…

Ubuntu 26.10 official desktop wallpapers are here! 🧡 Our undersea artist, Marcus Haslam, has captured both the scale and elegance of the #StonkingStingray. In this own words: “For Stonking Stingray, my goal was to capture the stingray’s grace and elegance. I refined the shape to more closely resemble the actual animal, with wide fins sweeping gracefully into the body and a long tail that creates a natural sense of movement in the design." See the Stonking Stingray in a variety of colors, shapes, and sizes: ubuntu.com/blog/grace-on-the…

Linux security benefits from transparency. Open source makes code available for scrutiny, allowing vulnerabilities to be identified, understood and addressed. At enterprise scale, that transparency plays an important role in how Linux security is managed. What’s new in security for Ubuntu 26.04 LTS? → bit.ly/3V9PNGm
