It only supports X86, not ARM so no.

Just double checked their site. While they state that they want to support ARM, looks like the ARM version has not been released. I'll send the developers an email later today to see if they would be interested in switch development. If I remember correctly, there are already Chromebooks running on Tegra X1 so at minimum, the drivers should be available.

"Hey do you want to support your product on a hacked Nintendo console that 0.001% of the userbase will ever use?

Someone independent will have to end up porting the ARM version to Switch if there are incentive to do so, but Linux makes way more sense than a random Chromeium OS varient so I honestly doubt it will happen.

Reminds me of ChromeOS.

Chromium OS is the open source variant of Chrome OS so that should explain the similarities. Major catch is that feature parity between the two isn't exactly perfect. Hell, it's not perfect between different Chromebook models running the same version of Chrome OS. :P

Not fussed for a Switch version tbh, I’d rather just plain old Linux or an Android port if I wanted a second OS.

But, somehow I’d managed to never hear of Flint OS before. So I’m definitely downloading it to have a play around.

Came here to say exactly this. Seeing how some Linux distros have already been ported, I'm actually surprised that Android hasn't really been talked much about yet (at least not that I'm aware of)

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
