Re: [ubuntu-uk] Tablets for Ubuntu
That is probably it at the moment. Ubuntu on the Nexus 7 is really just a proof of concept. There is the KDE based Vivaldi tablet which uses a tablet UI called Plasma on top of the Mer mobile Linux distribution, and that is more likely to be the path that tablets take. That's not to say that a fully functioning Linux desktop distro won't work on a tablet but to see what it's like, try running a VNC session from a desktop on a tablet and you'll see how many things have to be made to work properly on a touchscreen. s/ On 30 December 2012 16:38, Rowan Berkeley rowan.berke...@gmail.com wrote: Hiya people, Do you have any thoughts about tablets?
