I know this might seem out of the blue but there has been a lot of focus on ICS which I gotta say I love and EOS have done an amazing job and we all need to thank them for what they've done. But I would really like to see more development in the dual boot idea, letting us load up a Linux distro natively ie backtrack,mint or ubuntu. The reason I bought the Xoom was because of backtrack and my current training. I would love it if there was a better way of actually loading up backtrack natively not via vnc so I could get on with some cool stuff. There might be a solution I have seem thread called debian native but the process seems complicated. I will donate to anyone who can give a better solution that works
Thank you
This isn't dual boot, but it's the closest I've come:

Hey guys (i don't want to be a ***** here) I just bought a new Galaxy Note 8.0 and am really keen on getting my wireless adapter working (in monitor mode). I am a part time pentester so this would be really handy! Could anybody point the way for cross compiling wifi modules with my kernel? This would be great, cheers

So I'm sure a lot of you know that the final build of Ubuntu 13.10 released today! I know not too many developers are interested in it, and CM 10.1 is still being worked on. But I was wondering if there was anyone interested in this? I know it is still very early in development, and we still have yet to see a lot of things to come Canonical for Ubuntu touch. I'm just curious to see if it would be a realistic operating system to install on the blaze. I understand, according to the website, that you would only be able to use Ubuntu on the phone and not with a desktop, mouse and keyboard. I am unsure of the dual boot option. Would anyone know what the options would be with the Galaxy S Blaze with Ubuntu Touch?

Hey there, XDA.
So I've been puttering about with Ubuntu Touch on another device I have lately (Fairphone 2) and attempted a couple ports in the past...
(Moto X 2013, gave away to a friend, Galaxy Note 3, ran into a roadblock with partition sizes)
I got to looking at my Shield Tablet and was just thinking about how it'd be a near perfect poster-child for Ubuntu Touch for tablets. The device is still a relative power house, has great specs, native HDMI out for convergence, and even has OEM maintained device trees and kernel sources!
On paper, it's perfect.
So, I was thinking, would anyone else want to see Ubuntu Touch running on this tablet through the UBPorts project? Any dev support would be especially helpful, as Nvidia's hardware is truly a bit...unique.
Before anyone points it out: I am aware that there is a 'native' Ubuntu desktop port already, however it is awfully out of date and the developer does not seem very interested in maintaining it currently (and I don't blame him, considering how much work porting nvidia's L4T sources to the TN8 must be)
Interest from me, I can test. No good at developing though !
Yes of course! There is some interesting on having Linux in shield tablet. There's linux4tegra but it's dependent on lollipop kernel. So it would be nice having a dual boot stock nougat and Ubuntu for shield tablet thanks for the initiative.
Interest from me too. Also without dev skills, but happy to test

Well, sadly, might still be dependant on Lollipop blobs/kernel as Ubuntu Touch still relies on Lollipop device trees since it uses libhybris for device support. Most annoying thing about it.
Is it possible to request Ubuntu for an updated kernel dependency?
So, this is embarassing.

Which version of Ubuntu is this?

@Lyokacanthrope I can help with testing and stuff if we can get it booted

hah...I kinda put this idea on the backburner cuz I couldn't really get anywhere and ubports/yunit seems to be floundering currently.
Speaking of flounder (aka Nexus 9), it seems that had an [at least booting] Ubports in the past

I am very interested indeed. And I can speak for at least two more people that I know.
UBports still seems to be working on Ubuntu Touch, from what I can tell.
How about Plasma Mobile?
