none i can remember what happend to ps3 linux or xbox360 Reset Glitch Linux etc
You can't compare it like that. PS3 and Xbox are home consoles, this is a portable device.

If you talk about the power the switch is more powerful than ps3/xbox360 and it has double of ram.You can't compare it like that. PS3 and Xbox are home consoles, this is a portable device.
The switch is faster than most android tablets anyway.I absolutely can't wait for this (well android). When android is up and running, we will have PUBG mobile and other games. I want to get an android tablet for gaming but this will sure help out instead

In my opinion the most important benefit for getting Linux on switch is to run emulators.
Like: (retroarch, dolphin, ppsspp, and pcsx2). Please tell me your thoughts.
Watching a movie in the plane or reading an ebook as well
You can do (or will be able to do) those things with regular homebrew. No need to erase the Switch OS and put Linux on it. Plus if you did that you wouldn't be able to play games on the plane.
Dual boot bitch.You can do (or will be able to do) those things with regular homebrew. No need to erase the Switch OS and put Linux on it. Plus if you did that you wouldn't be able to play games on the plane.
Even if that was possible why would you want to do that when homebrew apps would be able to do it better? It's not logicalDual boot bitch.
Because homebrew apps won't do it better. Nvidia has already made linux/android drivers available for the tegra line of SoCs. No work is needed to get the hardware working (except a little config). The switch's OS uses proprietary APIs that need to reverse engineered. Then someone has to make the homebrew libraries. Assuming they even work well enough, then you have to port over every application to the switch's OS (and change them to use the homebrew APIs). It's madness. Just throw Linux or Android on the damn thing.Even if that was possible why would you want to do that when homebrew apps would be able to do it better? It's not logical
Erm ... pretty sure this will be worked around soon by either partitioning the Horizon OS partition or making other OS (like Linux and Android) bootable form SD.Remember, it involves wiping the nand first, you can't use it to play Switch games at the same time.
Also because windows code is strictly prohibited. Even if someone reverse engineer it M$ wouldnt let any source to stay online for much...Question from a total noob about console hacking :
Why is Linux always the first OS to be run on a console by homebrew?
I mean, it's not the first time I see Linux run on a console, right?
Actually the Windows 2000 (server version) source code got leaked online. It's still downloadable too.Also because windows code is strictly prohibited. Even if someone reverse engineer it M$ wouldnt let any source to stay online for much...
So without the source code windows always run on devices emulated so it's the original windows running at low performance emulated. No one can convert it to other devices...
There is also windows ARM but it sucks.
In time there is actually a free windows based OS that started by people who had reverse engineered windows, but they prohibited any code from M$ so anyone could keep improving it but not using the original code, therefore is not windows anymore and it's a dead OS nowadays, I think is React OS, but looks worse than wind XP as it was based on a older windows, but it's still in development.
Pcsx2 is a x86 program so it wont work on switchI hope everything goes work well. My dream to could run linux apps and emulators like pcsx2 and dolphin.
Or anything less than that however we'll be more than grateful.
Dolphin will though.Pcsx2 is a x86 program so it wont work on switch
Yeah, M$ never seem to care much 4 that. But if it was wind10 it would be shut downs very fast...Actually the Windows 2000 (server version) source code got leaked online. It's still downloadable too.
