You pretty much need a computer, you can use AIO updater to update Atmosphere and Hekate, but if something is broken you need to figure what to delete before CFW would boot again, as for homebrew there is an homebrew app store, but not every homebrews are on that app store.
You can use an Android phone as well, but frankly It's so clunky (plus modern phones may not even have micro SD card slots anyway) to the point where It becomes a nuisance than else. There also are some payload boots you attach to your Switch but I absolutely have no clue on how they work on how you're supposed to update the payloads in there.
A USB-C hub will work for phones that don't have a MicroSD slot.
But yeah, even doing simple things with a MicroSD card using a phone instead of a PC is a hassle.
If you have a phone or even a tablet you can get by with usb c to sd card readers.
For a year or so I used just an iPad Air for everything. Even my Wii U. The apps leave a bit to be desired and are a bit clunky but hey if it works it works lol
Should work on android devices as well though. Plus better apps for file management
That depends on WHAT VERSION OF CONSOLE YOU HAVE!!!
If your console is RCM vulnerable you can inject the payload with:
- A phone o tablet.
- A RCM Injector gadget/device
- A Trinket or Gemma Device
- Any computer running linux, Windows or Mac

Go to this site: https://hb-app.store/switch/appstore
Download the homebrews you want, then extract the contents to a spare microSD card in your phone.

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+2 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -
@
BigOnYa:
Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
