@gamingonlinux.com Canonical is a private company. They don't have shareholders to appease. I don't understand why they're doing this.

I assume Mark Shuttleworth wants to make a profit. "We" as free users don't make him any money. Recently they tested a snap for Steam on ARM. They tested internally on Nvidia DGX. From a financial point of view it only makes sense to use Nvidia DGX for AI. I assume that's a revenue stream for them.
