KDE developers have succeeded in running the touch-optimized Plasma Active Linux Distribution on Nexus 7 (http://www.muktware.com/5012/kdes-plama-active-running-nexus-7#.UNSic9GTsd0). Earlier Ubuntu developers managed to create a installer for Nexus 7, but those builds also showed that Unity, in its current form, is not ready for touch-based devices. KDE has an edge here as they have optimized versions for netbooks, desktops and touch-based devices so a user doesn't have to make any compromises as one has to do with other DEs or shells which are focusing more in touch-based devices only.
