I suspect the number of people out there with any interest in running linux on a Wii U is extremely small. It's hard enough even getting enough interest in normal powerpc to get that to stay supported. The number of systems out there is irrelevant, given running Linux is obviously not why most people have a Wii U. And x32 really does seem like it died. There really never did seem to be interest, even though it could run on every modern PC out there. -- Len Sorensen
