I would like to be able to run Ubuntu on ThinkPad 10, which is a tablet with a Bay Trail-T Intel Atom chip.

Will Ubuntu work on this computer?

Better ask on Ubuntu forums, but I'm almost certain it will.

Spec-wise it should run without any issues, modern Linux has a habit of recognising most hardware out of the box but the best way to find out is to give it a go. I'm not too much into the touch screen way of life but I have heard the KDE offers a better touch experience than Gnome/Unity so you may want to try Kubuntu (basically Ubuntu with the KDE desktop instead of Gnome/Unity).

I know Cononical are working on a mobile phone operating system at the moment, this will no doubt be ported to x86/x64 after it's released and would give a seamless touchscreen only experience.
