Microsoft and Canonical ready to bring Ubuntu on Windows 10 | Rumor

The distance between the Windows and Linux operating system looks set to shrink in a consistent manner as a result of Microsoft's decision to integrate Canonical and Ubuntu, one of the most popular Linux distributions, Windows 10. The news has not yet considered official, but it is It has been confirmed by sources close to Canonical to ZDnet site. Food for thought there, since no one would be the simplest option to use the BASH shell of Linux in Windows 10, but a genuine integration of Ubuntu in Windows 10.

According to reports from the source, in fact, the Ubuntu operating system will not simply running as a virtual machine, or it will be a simple command-line interface running BASH, it features already exploited through programs with Cygwin or MSYS. Full details will be revealed at the conference Build which will start today (but the announcement could take place in any of the three days of the conference). One of the hypotheses is that Ubuntu will be able to operate "on" Windows exploiting the new Linux subsystem spotted at the end of January in a build of Windows 10 Redstone.

E 'right to point out that, on the basis of the first description provided by the source, it seems that the novelty talk first to the community of developers and not the final user, since it defines how unlikely the Unity user interface integration Ubuntu; the focus, on the contrary, will be the interpreter of the Bash command and other CLI (command line interface tools). Theoretically, in the light of the new integration between Ubuntu and Windows, it might be possible to run a Linux GUI, such as Unity, GNOME or KDE, but would not this the essential purpose of the collaboration between Microsoft and Canonical.

For the moment, it should not go too far in the feedback of a partnership whose contours and whose purpose will emerge clearly in the course of waiting Build Conference in 2016.

The Silent Revolution of On-Device AI: Why the Cloud Is No Longer King

Introduction For years, artificial intelligence has meant one thing: the cloud. Whether you’re asking ChatGPT a question, editing a photo with AI tools, or getting recommendations on Netflix — those decisions happen on distant servers, not your device. But that’s changing. Thanks to major advances in silicon, model compression, and memory architecture, AI is quietly migrating from giant data centres to the palm of your hand. Your phone, your laptop, your smartwatch — all are becoming AI engines in their own right. It’s a shift that redefines not just how AI works, but who controls it, how private it is, and what it can do for you. This article explores the rise of on-device AI — how it works, why it matters, and why the cloud’s days as the centre of the AI universe might be numbered. What Is On-Device AI? On-device AI refers to machine learning models that run locally on your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or edge device — without needing constant access to the cloud. In practi...

Apple’s AI Push: Everything We Know About Apple Intelligence So Far

Apple’s WWDC 2025 confirmed what many suspected: Apple is finally making a serious leap into artificial intelligence. Dubbed “Apple Intelligence,” the suite of AI-powered tools, enhancements, and integrations marks the company’s biggest software evolution in a decade. But unlike competitors racing to plug AI into everything, Apple is taking a slower, more deliberate approach — one rooted in privacy, on-device processing, and ecosystem synergy. If you’re wondering what Apple Intelligence actually is, how it works, and what it means for your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you’re in the right place. This article breaks it all down.   What Is Apple Intelligence? Let’s get the terminology clear first. Apple Intelligence isn’t a product — it’s a platform. It’s not just a chatbot. It’s a system-wide integration of generative AI, machine learning, and personal context awareness, embedded across Apple’s OS platforms. Think of it as a foundational AI layer stitched into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and m...
