# Installing Linux 4 Switch
::: warning
**Have you partitioned your microSD card?**
This guide assumes that you've followed the NH-Server guide up until this point, your microSD card should be partitioned accordingly. If you didn't do so, see [this page](../user_guide/all/partitioning_sd_syscfw) of our guide.

Linux 4 Switch is a sister project to Switchroot Android--it uses a similar kernel but provides a variety of Linux distributions.The available distributions at this time are:
- Ubuntu Bionic (maintained by CTCaer, the primary dev of both the L4S kernel and hekate--this is the most stable and supported distro)
- Ubuntu Jammy (maintained by theofficialgman, one of the primary devs of the L4T Megascript installer program)
- Fedora 39 (maintained by azkali, a L4S kernel developer)

- Lakka 5.x (maintained by gavin_darkglider, a L4S kernel developer and Lakka maintainer)
::: info
**Looking for Arch?**
Unfortunately, L4S Arch Linux is deprecated following an xorg ABI change that breaks compatibility with the Tegra210 BSP.
