I have heard of people putting main linux on wiis but in my case I didn’t do that niiofetxh just happens to be a neofetch fork for wii on the homebrew list of apps.
This is the bulk of where I got apps from https://oscwii.org/library

So basically homebrew is a mod for the Wii that basically changes some things about the os so that you can install just about anything you want through the homebrew channel, with it you can play emulators and arcade games and do some semi useful stuff like ftp or media player with visualizer and there are some apps for preventing bricking as well as restoring functionality to some games such as enabling online modes to Mario kart and some other things.
It is pretty easy to do, it is easier than creating a bootable flash drive for Linux because you dont have to flash anything, you just unzip a file to an SD card and pop it in and away you go. It is pretty fun too because after you go through the initial boot you get a message containing an image of a red envelope containing a cartoon bomb and next thing you know you have a channel which shows you a bubble screensaver (this is what the channel is like before you put any apps on it which is equally as easy to do)
I wonder if they dug further into the bit and we just missed it lol
