Install Ubuntu Dell Venue 8 Pro

First problem with that, I couldn't figure out how to make a grub menuentry, so I had to manually type the commands to boot the ISO. Second problem, not all Linux distributions can install on a disk with some mounted partitions. Even if the ISO was mounted on a separate partition that had nothing to do with the root file system, some distros just wouldn't want to install (looking at you, Xubuntu)!

- Ubuntu Touch has touch support, however, according to the latest info from Canonical (the company that markets Ubuntu), it will not be implemented until version 16.04, which is still more than a year away. You can however already get a feeling of what touch support on Ubuntu Unity will be like by installing the experimental Unity Shell, which has touch functionality, but it is really buggy, and it will only work on Ubuntu 14.10, which may work on your system right out of the box, or it may not. Lately, the development releases of Ubuntu haven't been the most easy to work with. Generally, it's better to install a LTS release, and that would be 14.04, but that has no touch support. You could of course go for a non-Canonical Ubuntu version, there are several community Ubuntu distros, that offer more mainstream display servers and desktop environments, like Ubuntu with Gnome and Kubuntu (with KDE). Ubuntu is not bleeding edge though, you won't have access to the latest Gnome or KDE unless you compile them yourself. If you want to get the most out of a next-gen multi-touch experience (and that is much more evolved and modern than on Windows 8, think Android), and don't want to compile yourself or do a lot of manual configuration, go with Fedora, OpenSuSE, Sabayon, or even Manjaro with KDE, which is the only distro right now that offers KDE 5 in release version.

yeah but the hardware isn't replaceable. at least without nearly breaking something. Dell for some reason is one of the few companies that let you replace most of the internal components on their tablets. minus the dell venue 8 pro. everything is soldered on.

Last night I was able to load ubuntu 12.04 on an aspire one. I guess its installed inside the version windows xp as I must choose ubuntu when it starts up. So far the only trouble seems to be when I shut the computer.When I open it back up the screen flickers and I must restart the computer. Do you know what might be causingthis. I will certainly agree with you about these "new" laptops.

I was able to get Ubuntu 64-bit installed and running by following the workaround detailed on -ubuntu-or-other-linux-on-the-asus-transformer-book-t100/ but after careful review, it seems that simply adding a 32-bit grubia32.efi or equivalent to the 64-bit livecd alongside the 64-bit version of the loader, half the problem is solved. Then it's just a matter of making grubia32 a default part of the distribution alongside the 64-bit version. UEFI is designed to load the appropriate .efi for the expected architecture, and because these low-cost devices ship with 32-bit Windows 8.1 to save space on the device by eliminating WoW64, the UEFI on these devices expects a 32-bit bootloader. Linux (including Ubuntu 14.04 and possibly earlier) supports booting a 64-bit OS from a 32-bit bootloader.

It was able to install ubuntu until the bootloader part. It installed a 64bit EFI bootloader but that wouldn't work. I then tried adding the same efi I used on the livecd but I just get stuck at grub when I select it via rEFInd. I attempted to follow some instructions online to load linux from grub but was unsuccessful.

This is a very serious issue, at least for me. I bought Asus Aspire Switch 10 E and I've been fighting to install Linux to it. This has been the closest one as a solution -ubuntu-or-other-linux-on-the-asus-transformer-book-t100/ , but bootia32.efi is a one issue. I can't make a proper one because I have 12.04 in current laptop (because it is old and due to the graphics I can't update it). I tried also one mentioned behind the link Anyway, I was able to get to the phase where in GRUB you manually define the kernel and then you boot the machine. Everything started promising, but then it stops to error message "mount: can't find root in /etc/fstab". I checked the fstab and it looked OK. But when I checked the /dev directory there were no mmcblk-devices, only in boot-USB had them.

Like a number of posters above, I've used older (Windows XP or Vista) laptops with Arduino both with the native Windows OS or with a dual boot installation of Linux (Lubuntu). The advantage of the latter is that there are lightweight Linux distributions that can run on older hardware, but which are under support from the developers.
