This reenforces my decision to jailbreak my Switch Lite. It's been sitting unused for 2 years, I don't like it, gives me cramps, and the store prices are ridiculous when used to the convenience and sales offered by Steam. And I have to pay for the Nintendo Online subscription to install a NES and SNES emulator. Yeah, no.

Any good Switch jailbreak resources? I'm comfortable doing it, I don't know what's the latest and most effective hack these days.

For the lite, you will have to install a modchip. These are currently hard to find or very expensive. But if you still want to do it, there are many tutorials online. A few keywords you can use are "Mariko" (Codename for newer switch models like the lite), "CFW" (custom firmware) and atmosphere (the most popular CFW)

https://nh-server.github.io/switch-guide/ is the recommended guide for Switch. However, there’s currently no way to run a custom firmware on the Switch Lite.
