Last week the new version of Ubuntu LTS, Ubuntu 18.04, arrived on our computers. An interesting and Long Support version, but our computers are not the only ones that this new version of Ubuntu has reached.
During this weekend two striking and interesting news have been published for many users, the arrival of Ubuntu 18.04 to Nintendo Switch and Microsoft Surface 3. Two devices that have more and more users and that will now be able to enjoy Ubuntu 18.04. In recent months, several users and developers have warned about the vulnerabilities of Nintendo Switch. Nintendo proceeded to recall certain units but the problem is in the software rather than the hardware. This means that users of the new game console can install Ubuntu 18.04 on their console. Taking into account the format of the Nintendo console, installing and using Ubuntu 18.04 on this device is quite difficult to do but keep in mind that in addition to Ubuntu 18.04 you can install any other operating system such as Steam OS. If you want more information on how to install Ubuntu 18.04 on Nintendo Switch, in the official Github repository we can find everything you need to do it.

Instead, the arrival of Ubuntu 18.04 to Microsoft Surface 3 seems more interesting to me. Many users use this tablet as an alternative to a lightweight laptop, but although the hardware is very good, it only supports and works with Windows 10. Although it has recently been discovered that other operating systems can be installed, such as Ubuntu 18.04. This facility It is not any subsystem as presented by Microsoft but it is the full version of Ubuntu 18.04. Those responsible for this are called Framasphere and we can consult their installation guide through its official website . Of course, after installation you have to update it.
