Hey guys, for the new 3DS, are there any recommended brands of SD card to work inside the console? I usually run things off the GW cart alone and with emunand being maybe not a reality, there might be little point to a big SD card but just wondering?

any card that is not counterfeit....

a high speed one if you want to spend some bucks and want the 3ds to boot faster. i have the one that already comes with the 3ds and i got no complaints... the loading of my games in the home menu takes a second or two to load but nothing special

The title says MicroSD, that's wrong right?
SanDisk Ultra are very fast and reasonably priced. You can often find them on sale on Amazon, Rakuten and such. It's my go-to brand for SD cards nowadays.

    hmm, anything I should prepare for?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @Kirbydogs, what distro are you going with, and what's your comfort level with Linux systems as it stands right now
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    @Sicklyboy Ubuntu Cinnamon, because I heard it
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    ack darn enter key
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    I heard it's pretty good, installed it on my VM last night and was pretty good
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    never used Linux before, thought it'd be nice
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    many people say Cinnamon was better than Linux Mint
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Nice. I'm not that familiar with Ubuntu derivatives these days, I tend to use plain Debian as well as Arch. Tip I would suggest during install, if it gives you the option, some installers offer to put your /home directory on a separate partition, it's simpler (IMO)
    if you just keep it in the rest of your data partition. No harm either way though

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Beyond that (and especially since I'm not familiar with Ubuntu derivatives) just google, google, google if you're unsure about something :) the Arch Linux wiki, while not directly applicable, is IMO still one of the best resources for learning about how specific utilities work or for some general troubleshooting steps that could be abstracted to other distros

    I just switched from Windows 10 to Arch Linux on my desktop PC about a month ago, I've been using Linux systems casually for about 15 years but never actually committed to the switch for my daily driver desktop OS. It's had a bit of a learning curve, especially since Arch is kind of "hard mode" lol, but it's worked very well so far and I'm really liking it over Windows. Never going back to Windows lol

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    If you really want to get into the sticks with my setup, my desktop pc is actually technically running Proxmox, a Debian-based VM hypervisor suite, and my Arch desktop OS is actually running as a VM on it with hardware passthrough for my GPU and a bunch of other shit. So an extra layer of complexity there hahaha

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Learning curve for sure, but definitely worth it!
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    I like Windows, because it's old and has a lot of stuff. Plus I'm familiar with it, and I don't think I'll be switching to Linux any time soon.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    That's why I stuck with it for so long. I just don't like Windows 11 and had no plans to ever upgrade to it, and my time on Windows 10 is running out until it goes EOL lol

  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    I've got applications to make Windows look 10x the more better.
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    I thought it would be interesting to use Linux on an actual computer lol

  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    now, let's see if it's charged enough to boot up
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    and what it looks like
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    tbh I haven't even used this thing in YEARS- most likely 2022/2023
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    nope, nothin' yet
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Oh here's an actual tip, if you're not aware, if you use Steam make sure you go into settings, compatibility, and "enable steam play for all other titles". Then you can run Windows native games under Proton
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    wow 0_0
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    I've got to look into that once I install it!
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    Isn't Proton more advanced at running Windows files than any other?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Proton is a compatibility layer built on top of WINE, developed by Valve, and is usually the best way (or one of) of running Windows games on Linux. Most games I've tried "just work", i.e. Click install, then click play, and there you go. Occasionally you have to change the Proton version they run with but usually the default settings are fine. Anticheat doesn't always work but that's all up to whether the game developers enable Linux support for the anticheat or not.
