- keithpeter 14y agoAssuming Unity interface, most software would assume mouse level pointing accuracy or keyboard short-cuts. I imagine an older iPad model would be cheap enough to buy second hand and try it...
- beagle3 14y agoI can't find any, and I'd be surprised if it exists (it would mean drivers written for most of the ipad's hardware). Are you sure you aren't thinking of ubuntu on nexus (which is available, and easy because android IS linux)? If you ARE talking about the ipad, care to share a link?

There's stuff out there. From what I can gather there's not much work been done recently.
- beagle3 14y agoI actually have android on my iphone 3G (as a "recovery partition"). But I was asking specifically about ubuntu; perhaps I should have been more clear. And that android, BTW, is completely unusable - I just keep it there in case my 3G gets borked in a need-to-reinstall way (like it did two years ago).
