How to Get Linux working on the Nintendo Switch Using OSX

First Download VMWare Fusion you can use Ubuntu like i did or any other OS

Install all stuff you will need for Linux to work also Follow this tutorial which is quick and fast

Now
You will need to Patch your USB 2.0 Host to work

https://gist.github.com/DavidBuchanan314/41b12362cc4d8c539dc441d75155f2e9#file-ehci_patch-py use this script

run sudo python3 ehci_patch.py

after that you should be able to run boot_linux.sh

once that is done your switch will not connect to the VM you will need to connect it again using the VMWare Menu USB&Bluetooth just select Nvidia USB Download.

After that just type this inside the VM terminal

sudo ./imx_usb -c conf

linux should boot after that have fun and enjoy

^^ This. Kate's stuff works fine; there is just not a payload/methodology to boot linux/no f-g linux boot payload(s)

kates stuff works fine since i got written for multiple systems not like the 0verflow stuff
