Nice work. I'm not very interested in installing Linux myself, but I'm wondering - Does this effect eMMC at all in any way? Or is all data kept on SD card and the stock system remains un-changed if you were to remove the SD card?

How about strange battery calibration problems that was stated at one of threads few days ago, my switch will arive tomorow and wanna know if there is no problem with that?
Can you Tell me how?You can download the IMG file and mount it to a loopback device
it shows up and disappears. I used your image file and etcher.Win32 error 31 is not an error, it's normal. If you have a black screen on the console just try again. Make sure that the SD card is properly setup too
so what stops joycons from working? does the switch need a special driver for its Bluetooth chip? or is it something else?

Tired of trying to boot theuselessLinux on your Switch without succeeding ? Tired of reading through the 57 guides I made just to see a black screen or USB error ? Fear no more, for I have come with...
~ Painless Linux ~
Grab it while it's hot : https://github.com/natinusala/painless-linux
Everything is explaned in the README of the repository.
Now you can boot Linux from any system (Windows, Mac OS, Linux or Android), without any extra work :
The system is an improved version of @00Cancer's GNOME Arch Linux image :
- Download the disk image
- Burn it on your SD card using Etcher or dd
- Clone or download the repository and use the provided scripts (for Android you need to copy 2 files)
- sudo
- chromium browser
- scripts to manage GPU clock profiles (courtesy of @Gigaa)
- SSH server enabled by default
- automatic root filesystem expand to fit your SD card
I will try to keep it updated, with incremental updates, if applicable. I will also keep this post minimal, as everything is already in the README.
Have fun with your almost functional Linux !
i can't look at it, i must format it. Should reformat in fat32 or exfat?The wired Joy-Cons will have to be remplemented. The Bluetooth Joy-Cons cannot be paired to the console, I don't know why.
Can you put the SD card in your PC and tell me what it contains (at least the FAT partition) ?

Correct me if I'm wrong this is based on Arch Linux distro, which uses Pacman as a package manager not Aptitude. However I have not been able to get this to work yet to see if Pacman works or not.
I cant seem to get it to work on my mac, Any Idea how to fix this ?
