Resolute Raccoon: Ubuntu 26.04 and the Frictionless AI OS

We unpack Canonical's Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, codenamed Resolute Raccoon, and why it's more than a routine patch. We explore native integration of NVIDIA CUDA and AMD ROCm into the 7.0 kernel, and optimized support for Intel Panther Lake NPUs, as moves to reduce friction from silicon to software for AI at any scale. We examine TPM-backed full-disk encryption, ARM64 live patching, and the bold migration of core utilities like sudo to Rust—what it means for security, reliability, and the future of operating systems.
