    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.

    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.

      KDE Plasma is my favourite Windows distribution! So much faster than Safari.

    Do the adverts still work? I’d hate for people to miss out on the full experience.
