Honestly, the 'g' irks me in a way that I'm growing to appreciate.

Cool! If you have any questions or problems I'll help ya out too

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 (Pretty sure it was this). 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 / usable and it seems like the devs have a ton of packages compiled for it in the repos.

I've been hoping/mildly trying to get a terminal on a CRT TV for years without buying hardware and this is an awesome implementation, especially with the component cable. Gonna turn it into a jukebox with CMUS or something.

I too love Super Monkey Ball 1

Here's the website, I have nothing to do with this. I should have thought to post that initially.

Please keep telling us Wii facts, this is important

Nice millennium falcon bruh

And USB LAN too!

PCIe is PCIe regardless. It should work, just be careful with unplugging things that aren't hotpluggable, both from the card itself and the cable.

I'd take the chance personally. I'm sure there are edge cases though, but I'd bet on it working.
