Don’t waste time being your own I.T. department! Step up to the convenience, performance, and reliability of Kubuntu Focus systems. We extensively validate updates of kernels, GPU drivers, desktops, and core apps on all models so your system works reliably for years after your purchase.
Officially branded, optimized, and validated Kubuntu systems with the beautiful-and-intuitive KDE desktop and industry-standard Ubuntu® 24.04 LTS.
Kubuntu Focus Systems are validated and curated for your model for a minimum of 3 years after your purchase. This makes them excellent replacements for proprietary systems in No-I.T. and Low-I.T. environments.

Take the guesswork out of system and app configs without the need for IT. Focus systems are used by top developers, DevOps, AI scientists, creators, and others who value their time and the unmatched Linux-first support.
Add the capabilities you need with the illustrated and interactive Welcome Wizard Tool [03].
Take and restore coherent system snapshots with a click and the System Rollback Tool [04].
Click the Backup icon to create hourly incremental backups of user data with sensible default[05]. Replace hours of research with handy Focus Tools that just work easily and reliably in seconds[06].
Stop wading through out-of-date HOWTOs or incomplete forum posts. Instead, get everything you need with Guided Solution HOWTOs[07] that are designed, tested, and maintained for your system. Run the GPU-accelerated Machine Learning Suite, display content on three 4k monitors, edit RAW photographs, or one of dozens more.
Remarkable products deserve outstanding support. Guided Solution HOWTOs, free live support, and cross-shipping ensure you’re never stranded without help or a system[08]. We build your Focus systems to your order and ship it fast[09].
Hundreds of optimizations improve almost every facet of your daily experience. Relax while regular system updates deliver validated upgrades to kernels, GPU drivers, KDE, and AI libraries[10], [11].
Highly tested and robust Kubuntu Focus Tools
We pack each Focus with only top-speed components that provide maximum performance across the most demanding workflows. And you can upgrade your Focus with tools you probably already own.
Upgrade your system under warranty with inexpensive, approved components[12] from us or other electronic retailers. Avoid invasive OS telemetry where Big Tech constantly watches you to feed their AI models.
Solve issues quickly and correctly the first time with fast, free live support. Most Focus systems are built, tested, and shipped within 5 business days without any “express processing” fees.
We meticulously select and optimize configurations and software to make the most of premium hardware. When updates to key components are proposed, we test the changes to help ensure systems keep working as expected.
| Expertly Optimized and Supported | [01] When the upstream proposes an update to the Kernel, Desktop, or Video Drivers, the Focus Team runs extensive tests to make sure the changes work on your system. If we find an issue, we work with KDE, Kubuntu, Ubuntu, and other teams to help fix it before a release. Actions taken include submitting and tracking bugs, providing acceptance reports, creating feature proposals, developing code changes, and assembling kernel patches. The Focus Team performs this testing in good faith to deliver better and more reliable software; however, this cannot change the Terms of Use of any software package. Please see the Terms and Conditions page for instructions to locate the terms for each package.
The Focus Team runs extensive automated and manual tests when the upstream proposes a kernel update. We check many external and internal devices, connectors, and usage scenarios. Models are tested for a minimum of 3 years after last sale.
The Kubuntu Focus Team runs extensive automated and user-acceptance tests when the upstream proposes an update to GPU drivers. They also coordinate the integration of CUDA, ML, and AI libraries with the official Ubuntu GPU drivers.
