Initial Setup
https://gbatemp.net/threads/l4t-ubuntu-a-fully-featured-linux-on-your-switch.537301/
On your PC, download the update.tar.gz file included in this repo.
Access your switch SD card file from your PC (use Hekate UMS or an SD card reader).
Open the /switchroot/ubuntu folder and make sure there are NO update.tar.gz or modules.tar.gz files present.
( If those files do exist there, you have pending L4T update file, boot L4T on your switch then shutdown and access your SD card again. )
Place the downloaded update.tar.gz in /switchroot/ubuntu on your SD Card.
Boot your switch and you will have the L4T-Megascript in your applications list which you can select to run the Megascript.
Boot L4T on your Switch and open a terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T or open Terminal from the app list), then copy and paste the following command to automatically update dependencies and run the megascript: (hint: if running over ssh with no display, remove "gui")
bash <( wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cobalt2727/L4T-Megascript/master/core_refactor2.sh ) "gui"
An application "L4T Megascript" will be added to your system after you run the megascript for the first time.
You haven't finished fully installing L4T Ubuntu, apply whatever the latest update is on top of 3.2.0. A guide can be found here:
L4T Ubuntu GBATemp project page
We HIGHLY recommend that you first run the initial setup script to ensure everything is in working order.
Here's all the options included in that:
Workaround permissions issues due to options not supported in L4T Kernel

Builds and installs newer patched SDL2. It's a requirement for many games in the script, but can take some time to set up.
SRB2, SRB2Kart, CSE2-Tweaks, SuperTux2, Celeste (Pico-8 Port), Flappy Bird, SM64 Port, RetroPie (automatically installs with Retropie)
List in progress
And that's all! You're all set to install any other program included in the megascript. Check the individual wiki pages to read more on a particular game or program.
(If possible, you definitely want to hook up a USB keyboard and mouse to make setup easier...)
