to be fair a lot of linux el*tists still rag at you to compile everything yourself either wayNative Wii U linux never quite got as active as Wii, Xbox and such like efforts where people actually quite liked doing it. To that end you are unlikely to find too up to date premade distributions and https://gitlab.com/linux-wiiu/linux-wiiu is going to have to be your guide to doing what you need to do, though it is far nicer today than hearing "compile your own kernel" back in the 90s and early 2000s.
I've been a part of that community for years and have somehow never run into these people.to be fair a lot of linux el*tists still rag at you to compile everything yourself either way
