Homebrew Is it possible to install ArchLinuxARM on 3DS?

[szymon170]

3DS uses an ARM11 processor (armv6) and apparently it's supported by ArchLinuxARM (source: https://archlinuxarm.org/). Is there a way to boot it on the 3DS? I have a New 3DS.

Potentially, but the experience would leave a lot to be desired it would work nowhere near as well as Switch Linux does (3ds hardware isnt the best)
You could always attempt using something like this -> https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-linux-for-the-3ds.407187/ and adjusting it for Arch, but it won't be easy.

Drivers, drivers, drivers...
There already is a port of Linux (https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-linux-for-the-3ds.407187/) and you can add whatever compatible userland (distro) you want, which given Arch's attitude towards backward compatibility is probably a "uhhh lol no"

I've tried using that but all I get is a corrupted screen.
