About us

We deliver open source to the world faster, more securely and more cost effectively than any other company. We're also the publishers of Ubuntu, the world’s most popular enterprise Linux from cloud to edge, together with a passionate global community of 200,000+ contributors. Ubuntu means 'humanity to others'. We chose it because it embodies the generosity at the heart of open source, the new normal for platforms and innovation. Together with a community of 200,000, we publish an operating system that runs from the tiny connected devices up to the world's biggest mainframes, the platform that everybody uses on the public cloud, and the workstation experience of the world's most productive developers. Secure and reliable, elegant and intuitive, and open for innovation - this is the future of open source, which is why we're proud to be the developers of the fastest growing Linux in the world despite already being the most widely deployed. If you're interested in a career at Canonical, we are a remote-first company so please apply to any suitable role as skills are valued more than location, despite some having a preferred geographic preference. www.canonical.com

    Yocto 🆚 Ubuntu Core: making the right choice for embedded systems #Linux is the top operating system for #IoT and embedded devices, but the decision between Yocto and Ubuntu Core isn’t always straightforward. On one hand, Yocto offers full customization and flexibility, making it a strong choice for experimentation, prototyping, and proof of concepts. On the other, Ubuntu Core provides built-in security, long term support, and reliable over-the-air updates - key requirements for enterprises that need to comply with the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and maintain devices securely over their entire lifecycle. In our webinar, Canonical’s Edoardo Barbieri breaks down both options, explores how each aligns with CRA requirements, and highlights where manufacturers may benefit from one approach over the other. ▶️ Watch the full session to make a right choice: https://lnkd.in/ddZg3Agr #UbuntuCore #Yocto #CRA
