Ubuntu Desktop Core on 32GB Nexus 7 Tablets

by | Sat 3 Nov 2012

As many of you will know, there is a lot of work going on to get the [core Ubuntu Desktop running on the Nexus 7 tablet](https://archivedblog.jonobacon.com/2012/10/26/ubuntu-core-on-the-nexus-7/).

Thus far we have focused on the 8GB and 16GB tablets, but now the [32GB Nexus 7](https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=nexus_7_32gb_hspa) can be used too. This tablet is available for around $299 if you don’t have one.

We want to encourage as many of you to test Ubuntu on the Nexus 7, report bugs, and get involved in making Ubuntu rock on it. To get involved, simply [follow the installation instructions](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Nexus7) (don’t worry, you can roll back to Android if you need to) and be sure to [ask for help](https://askubuntu.com/questions/ask?tags=mobile) if needed.

If you find bugs, be sure to report them with `ubuntu-bug`, [here’s how](https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs).
