resinOS vs. Ubuntu

resinOS is an operating system tailored for containers and designed for the unique realities of the embedded world. resinOS supports almost 20 distinct device types, has a robust networking and provisioning story, emphasizes reliability over long periods of operation, and enables a productive developer workflow. We’ve been running resinOS as part of the resin.io platform for years and are now releasing it as an independent operating system, so that others can benefit and contribute to running containers on connected devices.

Ubuntu is the Linux OS that’s made for everyone. Harness the freedom and creativity of open source, from laptops and workstations to servers and IoT devices Published by Canonical, Ubuntu brings you the best of open source, backed by enterprise-grade assurance. Ubuntu delivers a unified and stable experience. Ubuntu serves as an interoperable platform, from the desktop to the edge. Wherever you innovate, you can expect high-performance and the same rich tooling ecosystem. Through community and partnership, we ensure that Ubuntu is always at the cutting-edge.
