Can I format my Kindle Fire (1st Gen) and install Ubuntu touch?

At this moment, there are no stable versions of Ubuntu Touch for the Kindle Fire 1st generation. But there is an unstable preview of it by Hashcode but I don't see if it's going to be updated soon because he is making a new rom called OtterX:

There are apps to download Linux on the tablet with Android still installed:

Also, you should try the Kitkang roms by Euroskank:

    So I'm coming back to this a year later, thought I might give a slight update. I ended up getting CyanogenMod on the Fire pretty easily. I honestly don't use it as much as I thought I would, and have mainly gone back to using the original OS and just using it as an e-reader only. But since no one has the unlock codes needed from Verizon to root Lollipop on my M8 yet, I think I may tool around with the Kindle a bit more soon. Looks like Hashcode has been abandoned in the last year, so I'll have to find some other cool projects for it. I'll report back.

    // , Heheh. Euroskank. Heheh. Also, if you like Hacking, Verizon is prooooobably not the optimal provider.

    // , Where did you find CyanogenMod to run on this? What version? What Kindle Fire model #?
