Hacking What Can i do with linux on switch?

[natinusala]

I know that aarch64 Lakka has a Linux patch for the Xbox One controller so I don't know if it works out of the box. But yeah any input device will do the trick

But no hardware acceleration, no standard pre-compiled distribution, and several other problems.
Those problems will be solved soon, sure.
Some of them, if you are involved enough, could be a quick fix, even a matter of selecting the appropriate code to compile.
But still, not for an "end-user". IMHO, an "end-user" solution would mean a pre-compiled image, with HW acceleration support, and a set of tools, or emulators, already packed in, something quite "plug-and-play". I would say, for this, wait a month or so, at least.

:/ For the end user, you get linux. What can you do with linux? Generally the same sort of things you could do with any old computer anywhere.

Hello i am a user. Not hacker but i want to know what can i do with linux on nintendo switch? I only want to homebrew and play switch games for free.

You can use Linux

P.S. Piracy is frowned upon here.

Why do people keep claiming this lately?

I don't know really, perhaps there is some confusion?
Sharing links to pirated software or games is frowned upon here.

Theres a pretty freaky pr0n scene in tty text adventures (because of course there is), but its too weird to even hint at it here...

(Said too much.. )

edit: To add something productive, Gargoyle (program) is the somewhat current interreter thats usually used for text adventures these days. It plays the old adventure classics (Zork, ...) as well.

Right now linux in switch is not very usable, but give devs time.
I hope someone tries to port or run moonlight in the switch via linux. It would be awesome to have a portable steam link and play the steam library in the switch.
This is one of the things that can be done with linux. Also, emulators.

Thou canst write thine own code the way the god of development hath intended it to be coded. By thou on the same machine thou want'st it to be coded for.

And now please let's get back to our modern grammar. This was a pain to write.

Why do people keep claiming this lately?

Because the actual homebrew developers that are leading the switch scene stated multiple times they are strongly against piracy; therefore, it is "frowned upon".

I don't know really, perhaps there is some confusion?

I believe you are referring to forum rules which is separate from the views of the homebrew developers. Being frowned upon by those developing the exploits and gbatemp rules are two different subjects entirely which I think are being confused here.

Here is what you can't do on Linux:

Have a homebrew ecosystem most people will be able to use.
Have Retroarch launch in less than maybe a minute (unless you teach people how to skip the login prompt.. ).
Use Switch controllers (currently), in bluetooth mode (for at least a while) or docked mode (for arguably much longer).
Have people use Linux, and CFW and what they are really after on one SD Card (three, four partitions with unused space you have to preallocate).
Use any of the SwitchOS features "seamlessly" without rebuilding them.

While all of this is technically possible - the overhead would kill all attempts eventually. Its like arguing, that google wouldn't have had to produce Android for touch screen devices - in a sense..
