I would make sure you have a full backup including the serial number before you start.

Try Ubuntu off a memory stick to see if you like Linux.

Unity looks pretty tablet friendly to me, large icons in the app launcher etc

You might as well just return the whole thing and get an Android device. Even if you could run Ubuntu on it I doubt it would be a great experience.

You might want to look at Jolicloud, but as others have said, if you don't like windows 8 then it's probably best you just buy an android or IOS tablet.
