I have two questions:

1. Is there any way to force open on screen keyboard? Osk seems to work ok but it won't open in Chromiuim in my case.

2. Can anyone try to run vcmi? It can be installed via software app or apt-get - it always crash right after start.

1. There’s a small icon up in the top corner by the shutdown/restart/lock stuff, clock, wifi settings, etc that looks like 4 little squares, tap on that and press show keyboard

How are folks setting up their joycons in this?

They connect via bluetooth, and i've done that, but no emulators seem to see any buttons being pressed? Think it's probably a step I'm missing.

If you can try to connect your switch with tegrarcm ums and with the sd card in the switch and use win32 disk imager to flash it had issues with sd card readers but doing it this way worked first try

That's too bad you're missing out, hopefully you can bring yourself to it in the future

As a developer and someone who compiles his own kernels (and runs Gentoo as his daily driver) I'm afraid that won't be happening.
