Thanks to Nvidia, there's a new generation of PCs coming and they'll run Linux

OK, maybe you wouldn't pay three grand for a Project DIGITS PC. But what about a $1,000 Blackwell PC from Acer, Asus, or Lenovo?

But now there's a Linux-powered PC that many people will want: Nvidia's Project Digits, a desktop with AI supercomputer power that runs DGX OS, a customized Ubuntu Linux 22.04 distro. In an investor presentation, Huang said that while AI developers were Nvidia's target audience for Project Digits, the company also plans to market its desktop CPU to mainstream users. Integrating Nvidia's GPU expertise with MediaTek's proficiency in Arm-based architectures promises highly efficient and powerful processors optimized not just for AI workloads but for anyone who wants the fastest PCs on the planet.
