I've Linux chroot ("Complete Linux Installer") on my Asus Transformer TF101 tablet (with Asus Eee Dock) and there are more downsides :
- VNC graphical access is slow compared to native GUI;
- more softwares don't work at all than on Maemo 5/MeeGo Harmattan Easy Debian. For example, Ubuntu 12.04 & LXDE on Asus TF101 doesn't open Chromium, Firefox, Synaptics, wxMaxima, TeXMaker, Thunderbird, Okular, etc. These problems depend on the Android hardware (GPU being used), Linux version, etc.
