I think is already implemented but I have not tested yet, you can see it in action on this video

by the way he is the programmer of vanilla.

I´m on the same boat, maybe we need specific drivers on linux for the switch pro controller to make the gyroscope work.
Edit: Oh you mean using L4T... sorry I do have a hacked switch but only using switchroot android for now, I really wanna test linux on my switch I hope I can install it very soon to test vanilla on that platform.

I was also considering using android but I prefered L4T because you can use it locally without making a server, but yeah I hope gyrcoscope gets implemented soon cuz my gamepad is far from being fixed

I had android on switch but I stoped using it cuz it was slow as hell and laggy in almost everything
