This is bad. Because,

a. Switch 2 can get bricked when Nintendo wants you to upgrade to the "Switch Tree."

b. If you discover a purely unused switch 2 decades later it will be useless. It's bricked unless you get that Switch 2 update.

c. It all ties to that Nintendo bricking terms of service terms.

I’m waiting for somebody showing a Switch 2 running SteamOS on June 4…

Please, might make it worth buying

Wrong architecture, switch is on arm, steamos is on x86

[–] semperverus@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Box64 takes care of the architecture, SteamOS is just well-packaged Arch Linux which has ARM distributions, and people have gotten Steam+games running on the Switch 1 under Ubuntu Switchroot. Nvidia open-ish source drivers exist for Linux and work more or less.

And pretty sure SteamOS only works on AMD GPUs

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I think that would be pretty easy to solve. Just install arch nvidia drivers?

[–] b34k@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah I dunno how locked down SteamOS is, but if they let you, then it could probably work

I can dream
