Homebrew Question ELI5: 128GB SD Card and Linux

[swabbo]

What's stopping us from using 128GB SDXC MicroSD Cards with Linux and is there any way to fix this?

 

[Eastonator12]

the sdxc drivers needed for the linux kernel to read the img aren't present yet

Is that fixable?

"aren't present yet"

Do you not know how drivers work? d:

Yea, it is. Don't worry. Drivers are being pushed for things all the time. Linux has a lot of resources for that stuff in place already. Now how long it's going to take is hard to say, because it requires someone actually put time into fixing that specific issue. Right now though there's a lot of stuff with Linux on the switch that's probably more important. General functionality is mostly what's being worked on... Audio, Bluetooth support, docked/undocked joycon, hardware acceleration... Etc.. Someone will do it though.

What I meant by that was, is there any way I can add those drivers now or do I have to wait for someone to create/modify drivers to work​
