When upgrading your ubuntu img using 'sudo apt upgrade', everything seems to upgrade normally except for this last part:

update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.9.109+

I'm unsure of the best settings for the Dolphin emulator and how to use the Joycons as controllers for the emulator. Ive got games booting but it seems they're abit laggy aswell..
Would someone be able to give me a hand?

When connecting a screen using a HDMI to DVI cable the image is pixelated and fuzzy. 5cm in the left part of the screen are OK, the rest is fuzzy and pixelated.
When docking the switch running Horizon OS, the display is fine.
I tried to deactivate HDMI sound (in case it would be mixed up with the image signal... no sound through DVI anyway) but I did not manage yet. (I guess it is not possible to blacklist the module responsible for hdmi sound as it is not separated from the kernel ?)
Changing the display mode using xrandr does not solve the problem.
Any idea ?

Try a few modes, maybe one will work

But i can't seem to get it working, do i have to run something in the terminal?
Give dmesg when plugging in

Well, nice job indeed.

I managed to sync the joy cons, but I can't move the pointer using the analogs as a mouse.

Does it just works for games?!

Thanks

Usually restarting the switch after installing the joy cons will all you to use them. Just re sync them through Bluetooth then press L +R on both joy cons and they should be operable

Do

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-joystick

Then reboot and re sync the joycons
