Most other tablets seem to run 'arm' which from everything I've read is a pain however these come with full blown windows 8.1 and an unlocked boot loader. They have an SD card slot and a micro USB (which I could boot a usb from with an adapter). The only thing I'm worried about is if I come up against some kind of weird driver or hardware issue. I've googled 'linux on dell venue 8 pro' but have just found a bunch of reviews. I don't want to buy it unless I can get rid of windows and run ubuntu. Thoughts?
Dell Venue 8 Pro here, with 32 GB of storage. I had the 40% / 23% hang twice, the first time I waited on that screen for 24 hours. During that time, I had read about removing peripherals, so at hour 16 I took out the µSD, but that didn't work.

I would like to know if I can restore a recent backup file from my older XP Pro sp3 system onto the new 8.1 pro Hyper-V system. One of the S/W packages uses a USB HASP copy protection device that appears to work properly on the new 8.1 Pro system. Also, can I simply install the surviving XP Pro sp3 SATA hard drive (that is compatible with the new 8.1 Pro Client Hyper-V system) and use it via Hyper-V, rather than using Windows XP Pro sp3 Restore? I installed Client Hyper-V. The old XP Pro sp3 system contained critical/expensive S/W that I need to use.

Install Ubuntu Dell Venue 8 Product
Wanted to install ubuntu on venue 8 pro but forgot to turn off bitlocker (now bluescreen) I wanted to install ubuntu on my venue 8 pro but forgot to turn of the bitlocker. I turned of secured boot and tryed to boot ubuntu from my usb. When i tried to boot it the screen with the Dell logo popped up and said something with Bitlocker the screen. I just found out about a new type of tablets performant enough to run for example windows 8 such as the Dell venue 8 pro. I was wondering, is it possible to install Ubuntu Desktop on such a device, would the touch function work with the hardware? Did anyone manage to run Ubuntu on this tablet or do we need to wait until release of Ubuntu touch. I know the Dell Venue 8 android version came out relatively recently, but as it has processor that is x86 32 bit and 2gb of RAM, is there a way to install Ubuntu Desktop -not touch- as the OS while still.
