Hello! I'd like to use L4T Ubuntu on my Switch, but I've a few questions.
1) I've read that it should be safe and I shouldn't be banned. It's safe to connect online with OFW and L4T Ubuntu without 90DNS, right? Just to be sure.
2) Do I need to perform a backup of the nand before or is it useless in this case?
3) Is there a way to switch between OFW and L4T Ubuntu without using my pc everytime?
4) Are there any linux native games/softwares I can play/use on my Switch or is it not possible because of the different architecture? And what about Wine?

Thank you in advance!

1. Yes.
2. No, it's impossible for L4T to touch the internal eMMC unless you go out of your way to do so.
3. From Ubuntu you can reboot to a payload, but getting from stock OFW to Ubu will require some means of injecting a payload.
4. Most things on the default repositories support aarch64, but most games will not. Wine won't work.

Ubuntu runs before the switch os boots. You should be safe.

2) Do I need to perform a backup of the nand before or is it useless in this case?
Needless to say that a backup must always be made. No matter what you do.

3) Is there a way to switch between OFW and L4T Ubuntu without using my pc everytime?
Dongle or smartphone. This two things can inject payloads.

And what about Wine?
Nothing.

    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think Nvidia s future lays in AI GPU acceleration stuff if they can get that going it's going to be super interesting in the long term
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    AI assisted game creation might become a thing
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At least that's something I think would be pretty cool.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Don some VR glasses and gloves and talk to the computer and paint entire worlds
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    "OK Cortana I want that mountain a little taller and more snow on top, and I would like some random ancient pine forest around the bottom"
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    "Now we need a spring fed river flowing down the north side and add some wild life appropriate for the biome"
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Many TBs of assets and the programming of something like that is going to be tough but I think it's something we might see in 20 years maybe sooner
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Psionic Roshambo AI assisted game creation is kinda already here, there was recently that AI that can turn any 2D image into a fully modeled 3D object, it's not perfect, but it's a starting point, beats starting from zero

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    before that there was one to generate a fully modeled scene from a 2D image

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but most recently, there was one that actually generates a working unity scene with terrain and textures already set up that you can import right into unity, that's a huge time saver right there

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and using LLMs to generate NPC dialogue and even dynamically generated quests is something i'm sure is already happening

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    will just take some time for games made using those things to be completed and released

    @The Real Jdbye, it's bed bath and beyond you nitwit
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @K3Nv2 you said instructions with pictures, same difference
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Lol now with 32GBs of VRAM Ken?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No IKEA shit breaks within a month bed bath and beyond goes beyond
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus pictures don't always cut it with furniture when there's like 10 different bolt styles and they're just like figure it out

    It's not like how people whack it to uremums onlyfans :teach:
