It does not matter what device you have be it a PC/laptop/phone/game console ect you have no excuse for not installing Linux on it. Screw your Microsoft Windows crap the future was is and always will be Linux end of discussion thank you lol

You're so narrow minded it literally makes me cringe.

Dude it was somewhat of a joke post thus the lol I use a combination of Windows and Linux everyday in my job so I know them both inside out and yes for many a year I would have rather used Linux but windows 10 is growing on me slowly.

while I agree with you, it's only to a certain extent... are open source things generally more secure? Why yes, but are they always the easiest to use? No they aren't, so for the average end user I can see the appeal of these systems, ofc Linux is really on the rise and I use it exclusively on my systems but it's not quite as user friendly for people who just want to click and go

Yeah well, we don't care what you think of Linux & Windows, this thread is about Linux on the 3DS and the possibilities it could bring, don't start a shitty Windows vs Linux debate, first of all it's off topic and secondly it's the most annoying debate you can ever have on a forum...

Anything is difficult to use if it's not familiar. I find Windows 8+ to be completely difficult to use and entirely confusing from the standpoint of someone who has only used Linux exclusively for 5 or so years, but others find it plenty easy. But this is Linux for 3DS, it'll probably be difficult to use anyways without ways to properly deal with input and both screens.

Sorry for not reading all the pages, but we don't have a download yet right?

I think it had or something on a post, but now it isn't very usable (crashes every time when booting).

Well then....

 

[teampleb]

Well then....

Well there are no drivers yet and it needs to be configured.

How many people are working on it at the moment?

I think nobody is working on it atm (because I'm the only one who was working on this).

Also I'm working on a Linux loader for Brahma2, this means that we will be able to boostrap Linux by running a .3dsx on <= 9.2 FW.
But this will take a few days because I'm a bit busy with the uni.

[EDIT] I've just got it working: https://vid.me/ZfdB
I'll do some cleanups asap and then I'll upload the source.

Nobody? Whoever made this is working on it too.

Congrats again, Xerpi! This is becoming exciting to follow.

Would this work on 10.1?

 

[teampleb]

Would this work on 10.1?

Not until a new kernel hack is found.

 

[daxtsu]

It requires entire system control (both ARM11 and ARM9), so no, not at present.

Well unless you plan to run on the ARM9 as well, there isn't any need for that.

 

[teampleb]

You need it to just to boot it...

 

[Duo8]

Maybe we will have a way to start our own kernel on ARM11 with just a ARM11 kernel exploit.
