So it's now safe to use, I don't have to care of my battery?

Totally safe, can use quiet just do not leave it too long on the home screen of lakka not to burn the lcd of the switch

is anyone familiar with doing this on a mac?
i got everything up and running, but i had to do it through PC which isn't as easily accessible for me.

whenever i open the linux-macos-boot in terminal i get the same problem
"boot-scripts-master/linux-macos-boot.sh: line 3: ./shofel2/shofel2.py: No such file or directory"
any idea what I should do? or should I just stick to using the PC to boot everything up.

Also, I don't find the answer, but it's possible to run Lakka on the same SDXC I use for my switch?
I read I need to format it while burning an image on the SD, but is the SD unusable after? Can't I just replace backuped files ("switch", "Nintendo" folders, and other things) ?

Yes, but you need FAT32

Spoiler alert : the whole burning thing will disappear in the next release, it will just be one archive to extract on the SD card and done, everything on FAT32

Can you boot lakka from sx os external payload option?

Damn, I need to stay on exFAT.
No Lakka for me, then.

I just want to know, how likely is to be banned for booting another OS on the Switch?

I'm wondering the same thing.
If the system keeps a log of everytime you enter RCM, maybe they can ban you. I would like to know...

No

Probably impossible. Nintendo only officially supports Horizon IIRC.

Silly question: When in Lakka, how do I connect to a wifi network? When I go to wifi, it lists my network without problems, I can even enter the passphrase but how do I click on „Ok“ after entering the passphrase? There is no button to connect and the buttons on the joycons wont work...

Had the same thing. You have to first navigate within the terminal to the boot-scripts-master folder. Just use ls and cd in terminal to navigate (google will help)

works fine, tested with a micro sd of 2 GB ^^ only missing audio to be perfect., tks

thank you. worked like a charm.

as far as the wifi issue, my joycon didn't work either, but it was because i only had one plugged in and the other side was my jig
for me, i put the password in and clicked the 2nd arrow image in the far right column (looks like the return symbol. arrow pointing down and to the left)

Got Lakka booted, seems nice! Just gotta figure out how to connect a bluetooth speaker and see if I can transfer roms over to it.

Press Start (+).

Hi, I'm really confused on one step for geting my android to boot lakka using this guide
https://lakka-switch.github.io/documentation/installation.html
"From the payloads folder of the repository, copy the cbfs.bin"
What payloads folder from what repository? I cannot find these files on my soul

Can someone tell me where I can find the changelog of the new version?

Is there any way to stop the screen tearing on the right side of the screen? Messing with vsync and hard gpu sync doesn't seem to help.
