I spend most week in Germany for work, so when I got back I needed to unwind. So I installed ubuntu on my Nexus 7 (don’t ask). It is amazingly fast, I compiled code, ran libreoffice, etc. this all works fine and fast. The battery lifetime is good, I had it running for more the 6 hours without issues, screen mostly on, compiling and running stuff and 43% left. Unity turned out to be kinda buggy, but after switching to gnome3 fallback everything is fine.

Running GMPC on gnome3:

What works:

• Brightness control
• Battery status
• rotating screen
• Audio
• WiFi
• USB
• Standby

What does not work:

• Webcam

The current ToDo is:

• Fix multi touch input. (right click mouse, etc.)
• Test bluetooth.
• Size partition. (Current 6Gb big, should resize to 32.. but partition table is unknown.)
