[Idea] 3ds/wii u hacking linux distro

[Deleted member 373223]

ok so:

There isn't a distro built just for 3ds hacking

Although if someone cared enough someone could make a 3ds hacking linux distro.

Go and speak to @smealum he might be interested as a side project

that is how the idea happened.
maybe an ubuntu fork that includes:
devkitpro
some random 3ds hackin stuff
some random wii u hacking stuff
xxamp for selfhosting.
some other random stuff.
removing the need to remove the .trash files.
and something else... (also porting some hacking tools)
and java
and phyton

(now, i am not saying "hey can someone do this for me cause i am lazy?", i am just proposing an idea that i and @Luglige camed up with

Here's an install script I tossed together for linux distros that installs a bunch of 3ds dev stuff: https://gist.github.com/astronautlevel2/c883fb8fef59a12a951471904d2ccd5b

It's kind of outdated but could be expanded on to do what you want.

nice even if i mean an entire linux distro. with a .iso and everything

It seems kind of overkill to create an entire linux distro just for 3ds dev work. Pretty much any linux distro can do it just fine if you install all the necessary stuff.

yeah, it might seem, but i mean it not only for dev, and in linux someone has to deal with the .trash files for exmple, and a bit of srabilization of it never hurts

If you were to do this it would be better to use debian as a base.

debian? sorry i am really new to linux. i only virtualized it once to run a script and never touched it again.

debian is the core of what ubuntu is made of.. ubuntu is a mod of debian

if you have a nice RAM you can virtualize it (you need 4 gb of ram at least if you want to assign it 2 gb)

You think I don't understand that mate?

And ubuntu isn't a "mod" of debian, it's based off the debian Sid/unstable branch. At this point they're essentially two totally different distros in philosophy and function.

Sorry, I thought you had quoted me in that post '_>'

 

[Froster]

This would be completely awesome!
But I don't see why we should make a distro just for this

 

[Joom]

maybe an ubuntu fork

God, please, no. At least use Debian testing.

PEBKAC, not GRUB.

Bullshit.
