On the tablet Surface Pro from Microsoft put Ubuntu

As you know, the Surface Pro tablet from Microsoft comes with Windows 8. The tablet itself went on sale recently, but various craftsmen have already started experimenting with installing third-party operating systems. One of the craftsmen was able to put Ubuntu on this tablet, noting also that Linux Mint is also installed without too much difficulty. Rather, there are difficulties, but the boot and the overall workflow of the installed OS runs fine.

Here you can find more or less detailed instructions for installing Linux on the tablet. Unfortunately, WiFi is not working yet, plus there are problems with the operation of a couple more modules. However, network support can be added by connecting an Ethernet-to-USB module.

The initiators of the installation of Linux-distributions on the tablet have already appealed to all interested, who could help in the development process. In general, there is no doubt that in a few weeks / months there will be quite a working Linux distribution kit, “sharpened” under Surface Pro. Now it’s hard to hope for full-fledged work of a third-party OS.

Nevertheless, the process of fitting the Linux distribution for this tablet cannot be called just a game, since Surface Pro is one of the few tablets that can boast an Intel Core i5 processor, support for a digital pen, and support for Touch Cover or Type Cover.

There is also an option with Surface RT on the NVIDIA Tegra 3 ARM platform. But on such a tablet to install a third-party OS is somewhat more difficult.
