    I’ve been wanting to try this for ages, but never got round to it. How long did it take to get installed? Do you recommend it, even if just for the memes.

      The Linux portion wasn’t long at all, it’s just a matter of putting files on an SD and unpacking other files to a second SD or flash drive with Linux, then it just boots (if you already have BootMii installed). Probably about half an hour.

      Installing HomeBrew Channel and BootMii is another story, I did that last year and don’t remember how long it takes. I can look for the guide I used and post it here when I find it. This part is also pretty straight forward iirc, but I’m not sure if/how things have changed.

      I would totally recommend it! It’s shockingly responsive and usable and the devs have a ton of packages compiled for it in the repos.
