    The product page does, however, mention that it currently supports

    And another one: NvidiarCOs new high-powered rCLDGX SparkrCY AI workstation <https://arstechnica.com/ai/2025/10/nvidia-sells-tiny-new-computer-that-puts-big-ai-on-your-desktop/>:

    The DGX Spark, which Nvidia previewed as "Project DIGITS" in
    January and formally named in May, represents Nvidia's attempt to
    create a new category of desktop computer workstation specifically
    for AI development.

    Windows? What Windows?

    For the OS, the Spark is an ARM-based system that runs Nvidia's
    DGX OS, an Ubuntu Linux-based operating system built specifically
    for GPU processing. It comes with Nvidia's AI software stack
    preinstalled, including CUDA libraries and the company's NIM
    microservices.

    IrCOve said before that Linux is king of the workstation market. This is
    just further proof of that.
