This tutorial guides you through installing and using an inference snap, specifically Qwen 2.5 VL, a multi-modal large language model. It covers installation, status checks, basic chat, and configuring Open WebUI for image-based prompts.
Inference Snaps are generative AI models packaged for efficient performance on local hardware, automatically optimizing for CPU, GPU, or NPU.
Canonical today announced optimized inference snaps, a new way to deploy AI models on Ubuntu devices, with automatic selection of optimized engines, quantizations and architectures based on the specific silicon of the device.
On October 23rd, we announced the beta availability of silicon-optimized AI models in Ubuntu. Developers can locally install DeepSeek R1 and Qwen 2.5 VL with a single command, benefiting from maximized hardware performance and automated dependency management.
Ubuntu 25.10 no longer includes a Startup Applications utility, but you can still auto-start apps, scripts and commands at login. This article explains how to use .desktop files in the ~/.config/autostart directory to achieve this.
Canonical announced today that they will formally support the NVIDIA CUDA toolkit and also make it available via the Ubuntu repositories. This aims to simplify CUDA installation and usage on Ubuntu, particularly with the rise of AI development.
GNU Emacs in a snap - the extensible, customizable, self-documenting real-time display editor. This repository provides the snapcraft.yaml file and related scripts to build a snap package for GNU Emacs.
This tutorial shows how to add Flatpak and AppImage package format support in Ubuntu, as they are not supported out-of-the-box. It provides instructions for installing Flatpak and Flathub, as well as enabling AppImage support by installing libfuse2.
```
sudo apt install flatpak
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
```
```
sudo apt install flatpak
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
```
Canonical is introducing 'tryboot' in Ubuntu 25.10 to improve boot reliability on Raspberry Pi devices by automatically falling back to a known good configuration in case of boot failures.
