The switch is fun to tinker with if you have a hackable one. I wrote a guide on XDA on how to install Android on a Switch. I didn't actually do any of the hard work to port anything or anything technical, just wrote the guide. I didn't expect it to become like the guide but it did. I saw it used by Linus Tech Tips once.
I kinda felt bad for never updating it. I dunno if it still is up to date enough to still be useful.

I think I used that guide to try out Android on the switch back in the day.
Has Android gotten any better on switch? It was sluggish last time I tried

KDE Plasma is my favourite Windows distribution! So much faster than Safari.
Underrated comment!
Running a VM of Windows 11.
Damn. Dude is brave. Pretty sure Nintendo sends a hit squad over this kind of thing. /s - ish
