Anyone know if there's any technical reason we couldn't take a build of say lineage for a shield tablet and port it over to the switch? I'm curious if this is something that's already being worked on or if there's some reason it can't be done.
Five points and a free washing mashine to the "we only look pictures, now - instagram taught us to" fraction. (Oh, I can't wait untill they get to legal voting age...) Reading the tweet stream would have actually told them, that this is not android, but linux running anbox.
But why android when any linux distro is clearly superior?
Are you a troll? Your words are basically gibberish. I wish jacksfilms still made YGS tbh because you are a perfect candidate.
My two cents... I see no reason the switch could not run android... The Tegra architecture has flourished on Android, and the only hardware I can see that needs driver support so far is sound and the power management, but, please correct me if I'm wrong. I've seen people say this version of Tegra is modified, but I don't see it... I know the switch runs at a lower clock than say the Shield TV, but from what I've read that's all software side... Personally I don't know if the X1 SOC has the sound as part of the system, but I'm guessing not since Linux has no sound yet. personally I'd like to see an android port, especially with the shield stuff they added on... (Half life 2 and portal would be nice to have on the Switch) but ultimately I'd like to have my Marvel Unlimited app running on a tablet I already own without buying more hardware... The switch stands to be a great all in one device.
The Switch OS isn't open source. The chances that it gets reverse engineered to the point where you could port it - are slim. Also considering, that this would be illegal... (Porting and or reversing (depending on your region), but porting - definitively so. )
If this is not the result of an unfortunate thread merge (it might not be), but I could swear...
As for this thread and the question at hand, you are absolutely right.
