This is a bit of a 'hail mary' really, but I haven't been in the switch modding scene for about a year now really and it really shows. A lot of the software and games I've installed on my switch, mostly fangames and the like have been corrupted and even games I've dumped from my cartridges and the like have also been corrupted and shuttered. There's talk about needing sig-patches, and sig-patches not working on atmosphere anymore, and then needing sys-patches for games and custom software to work, and when I try to install software, and custom games it just loads as a loading box in the menu, and it's all been really overwhelming and confusing. Any talk I try to get through servers either gets disregarded or just flagged as piracy talk.
Maybe it's a bit much to ask for, but I just need some help figuring this out and learning how to extract and procure sys-patches, sig-patches, or whatever and have everything up to date and the like?
Sorry if this comes across as whiny, I just feel like I'm at my wits end really.
 
What I always run into is that when you update your FW and Atmosphere, there seems to leftover from the previous installation.Old sigpatches, tweaks, etc, and they are the things that cause crashes. So for me the standard procedure nowadays is that every time I update the FW / Atmosphere (Daybreak, etc) I just completely wipe the atmosphere and hekate folders and redo them from scratch. This seems to do the trick. Also, just don't update your EmuMMC fw for no good reason and then things stay stable.
 
Sigpatches are an outdated meme, sys-patch is the new hotness.

Anyway, redoing everything manually is the best option when doing big updates. Always works for me.

Unfortunately you have an unfortunate timing. Firmware 22.5.0 came out today and things aren't updated yet.
