Has anyone successfully gotten Ubuntu running on this bad boy? Being a amateur programmer, I would love to see this happen ?

Unfortunately not. Tegra 4 has so much power but too little development. I tried to port linux but I don't have enough knowledge to do that. Also my tablet's UART (that very important to development) killed by f****** Chinese UART-USB adapter.
Hmm, after writing answer I got an idea.
I have another usb-uart converter, and why don't use it instead of internal serial port. I recompiled the kernel with usb serial console support and get it! Now I have debug connection, and even more! I've run simple Linux on it!
Now, more detail. Kernel build by default CM tree. Some features were added to kernel (just usb console support and virtual console and devtmpfs support). I don't use any initrd. Rootfs based on minimal ubuntu and it works! Pretty unstable and only in text mode via serial console, but works. Now I am trying to start system with graphical support. But I don't know what I should do. I tried out anything through framebuffer, but it didn't work, nevertheless command cat /dev/urandom > /dev/fb0 works and fill screen by color noise. Also I tried load X server, but it don't work too. I think I need some drivers, or maybe firmware from android's /etc/firmware but I'm not sure. I think if anyone helped me this tablet would get a full Linux!
If anyone has interest, kernel in attachment and rootfs (compressed by squashfs) here https://mega.co.nz/#!HlwxXC6L!NkCc6vLrApfNeGfMf7ZjaHqsmzzN_DODeehoyEReImM

A little better. Today I had try to see any screen output. I enabled framebuffer console in kernel and while booting I have seen a penguin in few seconds but nothing more. Then, when linux booted I tried to start X server. And it works, i think. I mean there are no error in serial console, so I'm sure X server works, but there is no screen output because something interrupt the output. I don't have ideas.
