LoongArch Gains Official LXC Container Template Support, Becoming Fifth Supported Architecture
In September 2026, the Linux Containers (LXC) container virtualization suite officially launched LoongArch container templates on its container template server. LoongArch has thereby obtained official support from the LXC container template source.
The architectures supported by this template source include x86-64, AArch64, AArch32 (ARMv7), and RISC-V. LoongArch becomes the fifth architecture to receive official support, following those architectures.
