I know these just came out but I was wondering if anyone had tried to install ubuntu on the Dell Venue pro 8 or 11. You can see the specs at dells website here.

- Is Ubuntu compatible with my hardware? [duplicate] 4 answers
I am using a Dell Venue 8 pro. I think Windows 8.1 is not a good OS for tablet devices. I believe that Ubuntu is working well on tablets, but I've read that people are having issues with touch input and internet access when running Ubuntu on this device.
Is it possible to use Ubuntu on Dell Venue 8 pro?
If it is possible, how can I boot it?

It's almost fully working with Ubuntu 14.10; the touch screen is working, but still no Wifi or Bluetooth.
32-bit UEFI gives a bit of trouble after installing. See 32-bit UEFI boot on Asus T100

Install Ubuntu On Dell Venue 8 Pro Tablet
Hey everyone, just want to start by saying I haven't been on this forum in about 6 months, and all that while i've been learning more about computers and other IT stuff. And now that I look back at my old questions, I realize how dumb some of the questions sounded. It's amazing how much you can learn from the internet! Anyway, back to the question. So I'm planning to buy a Dell Venue 8 Pro 3000 series (link is here) Amazon Dell Venue Pro 8
and I would like to install kali linux on the Dell tablet with wifi, bluetooth, accelerometer,camera and most (if not all) other features of the tablet functioning. I looked into installing linux on the tablet but I only found one video (link) Ubuntu on Dell Venue Pro 8 and according to the description the wireless LAN, the camera, and probably some other things don't work. So, I'm guessing that it would take a while to develop Kali linux for the tablet. So I also read that it's possible to install debian, or some other linux distro then install some of the packages with the kali linux tools. So which one of the options below do you think I should do? Should I: Keep the windows 8.1 OS already installed on the Dell Tablet, and then manually install the various Kali linux tools, most of which are also available for windows; install kali linux (if possible); install debian/other linux distro and install the packages, or just buy some other laptop/tablet ( I would like to buy a 10 inch or less tablet under $100) that is already compatiable with kali? I also read that android could be installed on the Dell, and then kali installed on android tablets. So what do you guys think? Thanks in advance.
