Welcome to linux-wiiu!

linux-wiiu aims to allow access to the Wii U’s unique hardware from the familiar Linux operating environment.

If you’d like to try linux-wiiu for yourself, follow the Install guide.

Content is still being moved from the old wiki, so some pages are missing. Sorry about this :( In the meantime, the README on GitLab has a fair bit of information.
