Hello!
Thank you for appreciating the work done for the Radxa Q6A. Well, I happen to have a unit and wanted to explore its full potential; since I’m doing that anyway, it’s a pleasure to be able to share my findings and be of help.
Let answer yours questions:
-
Performance: You mentioned it feels “faster” than 6.18.2. Could you clarify what that refers to? Is it shorter boot times, a snappier UI, or better overall system responsiveness?
- By “fastest,” I mean in the most comprehensive sense. It’s quite responsive, and I also found the usability to be “smoother”—if that term fits well here. In any case, once I switched to Kernel 7.2.9-edge, everything started working better.
-
Future Releases: Do you have any plans to test or support Ubuntu 26.10?
- Yes. Actually, I’m replying to you from my Radxa device, running Ubuntu 26.10. I’m even more pleased with the result. You can consider this an additional point to what I mentioned in my previous answer. My only regret is that this version isn’t an LTS (Long-Term Support) release. I’ll be launching it soon; it’s currently in the user-testing phase.
-
Future Roadmap: Are there any plans on further improving NPU support, mainline kernel integration, or adding other desktop environments?
- As for the NPU, if there are any updates, we will include them in future releases. I ensure that it remains functional, but I do not expand its capabilities.
Best Regards from Brazil!
