Nintendo Switch hacked to run Windows 11 on Arm, and it's just about as awful as you can imagine
Nintendo Switch hacked to run Windows 11 on Arm, and it's just about as awful as you can imagine
Forget Doom Eternal, this thing barely plays Peggle
Windows 11 lags like shit on a laptop with an Intel i7 and an Nvidia mx130. Nintendo switch is basically the weakest handheld device on the market.
For context the nintendo switch uses the nvida tega x1 processor. Which has also been shiped on the nvidia shield. So for context the gaming console is using the equivent processor. FOR A ANDROID STREAMING BOX

Nintendo never hid this. The specs showed a Tegra X1 when Switch was released. It was always public knowledge that Switch is an Ouya with an ecosystem and released games.
None of your post is new but it's like you want to drum up outrage that a company used easily available hardware that didn't require custom hardware like Playstation or Xbox (which SHARE nearly identical AMD chipsets!)
Why get mad at the hardware choice for an 8 year old console?
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.
Do the adverts still work? I'd hate for people to miss out on the full experience.
