Someone need test it and check for batery issues. Not want to do the recharge stuff again haha.
It still has them.

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 !
but still the 'battery discharge' problem, so not really painless if you always pulling your battery cable out, may as well, when you have the switch cover off, and battery cable out, do some soldering and install a 'disconnect' switch on it, until someone figures out how to code payload that updates the 'battery level registers' while non-horizon os is running.
Huh? LCD damage? Care to elaborate? (No offense, just curious.)
Ouch. Is there a way to avoid that?Well it can cause burn-ins and... well, just damage it. The voltage is software controlled, and if Linux does it wrong it will blow up the screen.
That's part of the Linux-not-working issues, like the Wi-Fi, its going to be eventually fixed. For now there's no real use in using Linux anyway.
I know you trying to keep your 'first post' in this thread clean and simple, but you should at least put the disclaimer about 'battery discharge' and 'lcd screen' in it, as no one even myself reads the 'github' readme first!
Can someone put the image file on Google Drive or somewhere other than Mega? Have to wait over 5 hours to download.
I'm more feared by the LCD damage thing.For now you can't but it's being worked on.
I have answered this more times than I can count.Just to know what is the steps to fix the battery problem?
Ok. But will it actually void the warranty?I have answered this more times than I can count.
