How to fully replace Windows8 with Ubuntu on Acer Iconiq w700?
I want to get rid of the Windows8 that is installed on Acer Iconia w700 tablet and fully replace it with Ubuntu as a main and only OS on the tablet.
I understand that there will be some issues with configuring the hardware, but I have to try.
Do I need to connect other than the native keyboard and USB Mouse to complete the process?
I understand my questions is probably very lame but I`d very much appreciate if someone explain to me the steps of the process.

Possible duplicate of How do I install Ubuntu?. Desktop Ubuntu is generally not designed for tablets, so this may not be a good idea without a bit more research. Create a LiveUSB and use the "Try Ubuntu" environment to test Ubuntu on your hardware before committing to an install.
