Linux is fun by himself

You must be a masochist. Linux is alright. I wouldn’t call it “fun”.

I like the idea behind systemd. I do not like the implementation. I like options, and init provieds that. And that's also why I use Gentoo.

Ah you see that's why Linux is not fun for you /j

I mostly use linux as WSL2 in Microsoft Windows 11 now. Its convenient and I can do most of the things I need to do in linux using Windows Subsystem for Linux. Very rarely do I use my Gentoo box or a virtual machine.

I ordered 47 ohm and 20k ohm resistors. Got it. Will it fit?

Are you expecting daily status updates? Given what has happened there is at least one person working on the firmware that will load Hekate and boot things other than Atmosphere. There is speculation and suspicion that another version is being worked on by "someone" that will boot Atmosphere and HOS but no one has posted a source.

Didn’t work out neatly, I hold the soldering in my hands for the second time. Hope it works)

Аккуратно не получилось, второй раз держу в руках паялку. Надеюсь, что это работает)

очень bitchin, my friend!

Depending upon how much height you have in your Switch you will probably want to remove those buttons anyway.

Nah, I was just wondering where the speculation about the latter was coming from

Tell me, please, I just upload firmware to rp2040 memory? Or do need some special tool?

Please don’t mod your switch or atleast practice on dead boards and use proper soldering flux

Unless you're crazy and willing to brick for the community like myself

You can use picotool for this:
