I can't believe I've had the Nexus 7 for 6 months now and only just started a page for it.

I have had it long enough to realize

  1. I don't like The Cloud. I don't want to be productized.
  2. I have not found apps to be as useful on the tablet as a on a phone. I principally only use a browser. Therefore I don't need the Googoo Play Store.
  3. I would like to be able to use the GPS without Googoo tracking me.

Switching to Ubuntu

I already tried putting Ubuntu on the Nexus 7 in February, when it was first announced. It did not work. I will now try again to see how it's doing.

Ubuntu is trying to build interest in an Ubuntu tablet. One of the main reasons to install Ubuntu on a Nexus is to be able to preview what a Ubuntu Tablet will be like.

Ubuntu Tablet Install]

Make a backup

Install multiboot per Linux Journal article.

Download and save a copy of the stock image from Google. Nexus 7 Mobile

Download Ubuntu image


Install it.

Verdict: is it ready to use now??
