Has anyone been able to install Linux on the Galaxy Note Pro? I'd really like to install it, but haven't found success using the Complete Linux Installer (my tablet is rooted). Apologies if a thread relating to this already exists!

My guess is there is no working kernel for this device, and since we don't have a working device tree to build kernels or even complete kernel source, it's probably not going to happen anytime soon.

That is a shame .. this would be great for it. Does anyone know if anyone is working on this, or who could (and how they might be encouraged)? I would love to see Linux on this!

I have not heard of anyone working on this... Unfortunately the developer support for this device is very minimal. We can't even get a basic AOSP ROM much less a full Linux distribution. Until the price comes down and some devs with a bit of skill pick this up there likely won't be much besides stock based ROMs.
