I have successfully installed Ubuntu 12.10 amd64 on the Yoga. Overall, the experience is positive: Touch screen is recognised and works well, touchpad with 2 button scroll and the overall laptop experience is good and snappy.
As stated by others, there are a few major issues:
1- WiFi is not recognised.
2- Bluetooth is disabled.
3- Screen does not rotate automatically. If you manually rotate the screen, the inputs are incorrectly mapped. Anyone had success with this?

For the Bluetooth and WiFi, anyone tried external USB cards?
Another issue with 12.10 is that there are random errors popping up. They are not critical but appear relatively frequently. I don't know what the cause is. I feel it has to do with the on-screen keyboard. The on-screen keyboard also gets stuck on a key at times.
Happy to help others moving this forward.
