I truly believe that a tablet running Linux could really shock the naysayers in 2014. If you don’t believe me, I’ll give you five good reasons why this could be the case.

1. It will actually happen

Yes, there’s still a big question mark looming over the actual date we’ll see the first Ubuntu tablet for sale on the market. But by the end of 2014, we should at least see images available for installation on numerous tablets. This will silence the naysayers who fully believe that the Ubuntu tablet is the latest vaporware to tease the fans and users. Canonical and Mark Shuttleworth have put way too much focus and effort into the tablet for it to fail. When the images for various tablets become available, the naysayers will be silenced.
