Hacking Arch Linux to be Released soon ...Shots Fired against ReSwitched & F0F

[Jayro]

Uuuuuh, android is just a linux overlay for mobile phone tho.

*Java overlay with the Linux kernel on the backend.

Well they have quite a lot of difference... Android is based on Linux Kernel like most custom OS out there in all kinds of devices.

And one is more for computers and the other is best for handheld\high portability devices...

I don't care for Linux on my Switch the same way I don't care for Android on my PC.

Without GPU Drivers available Linux could be the Change for the Switch

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?

Salts 3ds Releases

They never released KARL3DS (but they never said they would so that's fair, like F0F)

I think because it is so open-saucy that it is easy for people to understand how it works, rather than be images which you can't decrypt and look at and understand what they're doing. And being all open-source you could modify it as needed to get it to run (remove all the bits that are incompatible).

Should have installed gentoo smh

Likely because it's open source and the license only requires you to also release the source code for any modifications.

Other OSs like Windows or Mac OS can lack source code and have licensing restrictions.

They may also have a preference for it e.g. familiarity, 'ethics' (no need to patch the OS other than executing Linux), prefer running Linux over 'game OS' for full control, etc.

It may also be just because it's expected, as they say 'Linux is inevitable'.

Interesting

Don't get all the c*"k swinging but will be interesting to see if / what gets released. And when .

 

[Deleted User]

Real hackers dont bash others with bullshit like that.
Idiotic move of them...

 

[shadoom]

Why do people get so triggered? I mean saying he has "questionable hunan values" because of a snarky comment that is good for competition is just pathetic. I'm assuming he hit the SALTmine.

Couple of Minutes Ago on iirc
<opendata> I have the urge to buy a switch to port android to it and use as a tablet

 

[Essometer]

What is the deal with all the butthurt twitter replies?

 

[M7L7NK7]

Can someone explain how if it isn't an exploit why would the other teams care

 

[Viri]

I don't care who makes it, as long as it gets released.

Who did the U-Boot Release ? i think salt not F0F

Yes, the same salt dev, that tweeted the 'linux' bootup screen, also teased about u-boot, but then 12 days ago, released the commits to it to support the HAC-001:
