Ubuntu iasn’t a one and done release like windows or the apple stuff. It is constantly evolving, and runs on the newest hardware long before you ever see support from MS or the big A.
If anyone has a concern about supported hardware or CPU architecture, there is a huge official web presence complete with forums, tech and troubleshooting areas. Ask there. I personally do not have any bleeding edge equipment, but if I did, I would turn to Linux and probably the Ubuntu version of it for an OS.
I just thought of an obvious question to myself....
So there is a development Ubuntu version....13.0 that will run on this box, A15 Arm architecture...but my interest would be web browsing....and I prefer Firefox as the browser....
Not sure what they are doing to make their browser run on the ARM Architecture....
I use ubuntu for web surfing and blogging, and it is far superiour to windows IMHO. Almost no one makes malware or virus code for linux variations.
