Guide to Get Ubuntu 14.10 Running Natively on Nvidia Shield Tablet

February 15, 2015 by Rob Farber Leave a Comment

The XDA forum developer Bogdacutu reports they have Ubuntu 14.10 running on an NVIDIA Shield Tablet and have provided a guide so others can also get Ubuntu running on their Shield tablets. This is wonderful news and brings hope that Ubuntu will soon be running on the rumored Tegra X1 refresh of the Shield Tablet.
