I didn't either.

I have a launch-day Switch. I waited in line that night for Zelda.

Now, within the past week, for some reason or another I was feeling oddly impatient. I decided to see if I had any aluminum foil laying around to play with. I did, and my impatience suddenly waned away within a download or two. It was that easy.

I am still looking forward to picking up my Collector's Edition for Tears of the Kingdom that I pre-ordered the minute I could. However, I'm much more patient now.



Any tips for where to start regarding Switch homebrew? I have a switch lite that goes mostly unused, but would love to put linux (or you know, have access to a terminal) on it in some form. I mostly exist inside a hackernews bubble -- and a personal recommendation would be more satisfying than me throwing keywords at google and hoping for the best.


I think for the Switch lite you will need to do some soldering
