yesterday i decided to play my hwfly switch oled after 2 months of inactivity and got a bundle of problems
i bought my switch oled with preinstalled hwfly in january of 2023
all this time switch worked very well until i 2 months of inactivity
so now i have problems like:
no pkg2 and i lost my working backup
purple screen when i try to open ofw
and fusee error: invalid gpt signature even on new sd card and mbr fat32 formats
is my switch fcked up????
hekate, atmosphere, tegra explorer are all up to date

Yes, please bury it at least switch feet deep in your garden.

how can 2 months of inactivity cause this?

Maybe SD card errors, data loss, etc... what brand, and have you checked card for errors?

EDIT : The modchip/console seems to be operating normal if you're getting "invalid pkg file" error messages, likely to be incorrect/mismatched files on sd.

Start with a base of the install... just Hekate+Atmosphere, and add desired content one at a time to you find the problem.

And also there is a 1 problem that scares me: emmc gpp partition table is empty
Is this a big problem?

Your emmc has different partitions like USER, PRODINFO, etc.
Hekate is basically saying it can't find it. This is likely emmc corruption and can happen for numerous reasons from unstable RAM clocks to mounting and dismounting the emmc.
Hekate provides a way to rebuild emmc from a backup of raw gpp.
If you did make a raw gpp backup upon receiving your switch, you can rebuild your emmc with your prod keys and everything. However if you didn't then you may be able to rebuild from your emunand (if you made one and didn't blank your prod info).
If you have none of those then you will have to rebuild emmc without prod keys (which means you won't be able to connect to Nintendo).

Edit: I also want to add that a purple screen when bypassing mod chip to ofw also points to a bad emmc
