The X1 GPU is Maxwell. Same architecture, same drivers, same firmware, I think it's even on a literal PCIe bus. That's why we got hardware 3D basically day-1 -- the work was already done. (That, and the X1 has appeared in a handful of Android devices, so actually, all the SoC drivers were completed, refined and matured before anyone got started.)
The lack of 2D support is pretty irrelevant today, since everyone uses desktop compositors anyway and even most ostensibly 2D programs (most notably Kodi) are actually using OpenGL under the hood.

I'm not distributing images yet because not enough stuff is working, but hopefully we're getting close (I think just figuring out the rotation stuff would be enough to get this minimally publishable with a lot of caveats)
Maybe use Lubuntu or Xubuntu instead. Gnome isn't known for being the fastest DE. Lol.
I didn't compare with/without, but I did include it when building the f0f toolchain I'm using.

I started out with LXDE (so Lubuntu) and it's too bare bones and not as well suited to touch as Gnome IMO. Xubuntu might be worth trying, but really the hardware support is more important to get going I think.
Finally Ubuntu. You're the man!
This is even more exciting than the Arch thread I'm reading everyday.

Hey, sorry for the probably pretty stupid question.
I've installed Ubuntu but how do I get past the login bash without input?

just to show that it work
it still have few issue but well that still the early days and considering that we can count these days over our hands that amazing the progress !
Just if I may suggest would it be possible to have a ''clean'' build without dolphin etc.
I am sure not all want it as gaming station (I hope to not be the only one...)
Like for example I want it clean so I can install what I wish to for example vlc etc I would use as book reader and video/music player
Also is there a tutorial to make wifi working somewhere?
Lastly seem like Nautilus is making the system to ''freeze''

You need to change orientation of the system to portrait right (or left if you want upside down so the usb port is at the upper part of the screen)
this way virtual keyboard will be accessible.
Also in normal orientation it should also be accessible if you try to touch the password field.
in case you somehow happen to get the keyboard, the password is switch no caps no space just switch

@Pinda
Okay, if that not the case I suggest to download that on you linux based machine or virtual machine (for me it was ubuntu with vmware)
1.
Download that files somewhere you have permissions.
https://signkb.com/download/bionic.tgz
2.
Follow tutorial to launch linux on switch about preparing the SD to have one tiny partition and the second that will hold your linux. (but stop when it tell you to extract your image)
3.
Then you will extract that image to your SD second partition. (bionic.tgz)
example :
osboxes is my username
LinuxSDCard is the name of the second partition.
It will take some moment (sudo is required there for me !)
4.
once that done you need to copy that image (bionic.tgz) into SD Card root folder (not root of SD Card but the folder named 'root')
so for me it looked like that :
once all that done you can boot it via the command from other thread here it is without explain just check the other thread tutorial how to boot linux
if you have all things setup like I did it should work if not check that thread:

, Reason: some typos fix
If you're seeing a text prompt then for some reason you're not starting X (the graphical display). Did you build with my script?

You'd install some different packages when the image is being generated and probably that's about it, other than things like getting the rotation right.

Yeah this is a good point, I jsut shoved those things in so I could play with them, but we could make it optional.

I’ve been poking around with the f0f boot chain and I think it should be possible to move the kernel and device tree images onto the SD card and use them to boot, which raises two possibilities:
- We can host kernels in a PPA
- The kernel can potentially have modules (where the f0f has everything built in and you can’t load any optional modules)

@Xdqwerty, Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan! is the Japanese version of the game, different settings/characters/songs but otherwise identical mechanics. I played that before I knew about Elite Beat Agents lol. Both fantastic games https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osu!_Tatakae!_Ouendan+1 -
