I didn't entirely switch to Ubuntu, as I prefer Android on my tablet, but yeah, installing Ubuntu is a kinda cool weekend project.

I actually installed Ubuntu within a Terminal Emulator and used the Bash terminal for installing a vnc sever (TigerVNC in this instance). I then installed a vnc client on android and used it to actually interact with the GUI. So far I got not-terrible performance. I managed to install LibreOffice and Firefox. I am planning to try Visual Studio Code for ARM soon, too...

Trust me, it isn't exactly a productivity workhorse or anything. It's good for show-offs and bragging rights, you know...

Thanks for sharing more details about it! I would love to try Ubuntu on a tablet or phone for a few days and have fun with it!
