Mission accomplished guys, running xfce4 on wiiu-linux, took me two hours to install and run
How's performance? I don't need it to do much. Browse the web with a mouse and keyboard is about it because I'm currently without a working computer. :(

Actually, there are few considerations to make:
1: startx on reboot completely corrupts the rootfs usb, making it unable to start (you'll still be able to write and format it on win or linux)
2: is very laggy i should say, dragging a window around will result in a super lag
3: it's not user friendly, i actually had to change the apt sources.list and make various attempts to make it work (could tho do a tutorial who knows)
4: it... doesn't come with a browser, so you'll have to manually install it by "apt install firefox" (without quotes)
5: this is just a reminder to remind you (lol) that you accessed as root and so you dont need to run sudo everytime for apt, just type it straigth and you'll be fine!

So not quite ready. Darn. Guess I'll go back to Debian on my Pi 3. And having a network security and infrastructure degree, I'm pretty fluent in Linux.

Thanks!

Cool thanks! All other files (Linux Loader, kernel file) that have to be on SD are just the same as on gitlab, right?
So this while using it with a CFW booter directly launches Linux with the Xserver?
Actually yes all files of the kernel are the same ones as the gitlab ones, you should start the x server manually (auto booting it would cause fs to not boot anymore) by just typing "startx" on console (no "")

Ok the usual way. Start Linux from HBL, login, startx and have fun. Pretty nice, thank you! =)
