Ubuntu Arm64 ((free)) 〈Original · TUTORIAL〉

In 2020, Apple announced they were ditching Intel for their own "Apple Silicon" (M1, M2, M3 chips). These were ARM64 chips with incredible performance per watt.

For years, the joke in the industry was that ARM was "always coming next year" to the server market. It was the "Year of ARM on the Desktop" that never quite happened. ubuntu arm64

As the Ubuntu ARM64 ecosystem grew, more hardware vendors began to support Ubuntu on their ARM64-based systems. In 2015, Lenovo announced its ThinkServer TD350, one of the first ARM64-based servers designed for enterprise use cases. Other vendors, such as Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) and Dell, also started to offer ARM64-based servers running Ubuntu. In 2020, Apple announced they were ditching Intel

Ubuntu ARM64 is the go-to OS for IoT edge gateways, robotics, and industrial automation. It enables developers to deploy complex AI/ML models on devices like the NVIDIA Jetson, which leverages CUDA libraries on ARM, or to run lightweight Kubernetes clusters (MicroK8s) for local processing.

In 2013, Canonical released the first Ubuntu ARM64 images, based on Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail). These early images were primarily aimed at developers and enthusiasts, as they were not yet fully optimized for production use. However, they marked the beginning of Ubuntu's journey on ARM64.

Modern ARM chips (like Ampere or Graviton) offer comparable or better performance than x86 counterparts, particularly for highly parallelized workloads.
