Does installing an alternative OS (Linux, Ubuntu, etc) compromises the Switch's hardware in any way? I'm mostly thinking of battery life.

Battery needs to go through cycle of charge and discharge, if you let the battery die a lot then your battery health won't be that good.

There is three part to battery health.
1. The total number of full charge equivalent delivered. i.e. how much you use it. The more you use the more damage it gets.
2. The amount of stress it experienced, both extreme, very full and very empty, stress the battery and damage it.
3. How the charging algorithm works, fast charging is always damaging, but especially at the two extreme of fullness.

The OS you use of course affects your battery in all the above aspect.

Will letting your friend drive you car harm it? Who knows?

For good battery health you want to avoid the two extreme end, how far you keep away from the two extreme will mean how much battery life per full charge you get. It is a trade off. I believe Nintendo play it safe. ( meaning you don't get the full use of your battery per full charge )

I've had a look through my Switch folder on my SD card and could see my keys so have downloaded these to my pc.

Now that I have these I'm not sure what the next action is. I have the BOOT0 and BOOT1 as well as 15 rawnand files all dated 2020 but I'd want to access the recent saves on my Emummc on my SD card? It's the only decent size one I own so was thinking maybe I should save the contents to my pc as I'll be needing this for going through the CFW process from scratch with my replacement switch.

No experience, but in that topic they're talking about NxNandManager. You should be able to load your keys into it with the data and that might do it?

In short, you need a way (software) to open the encrypted data, and supply those keys as decryption keys. Then you should be able to browse it like a folder structure with those tools.
 
Hey Folks,
can you maybe help me. I'm now on Sys version: 17.01 I AMS 1.6.2 I
I wanted to play new games like Nes World oder Schrim which efforts a FW 18.01. Everytime I try to install them Awoo Installer gives me the error: OpenFileSystemWithld124: Failed to open file system with id...

I don't know why but I think I have to update to the new AMS and actual fw 18.01.
In the past I did it per Jits (Just insert this stuff) but it's offline now. Can I just replace the files from the actual AMS github page on the root of my switch sd card and update the fw per daybreak?
Will this fix my problem?

Thanks in advance! :)

Yes, I would highly recommend downloading the files from the official Atmosphere GitHub page to update your setup instead of using JITS. Once you've gotten a hold of the new files, you can update your firmware via Daybreak.

Thanks! So i really ony replace the folders from the SD card with the files from the atmosphere and the switch folder from the AMS github release? What about the fusee.bin. do i need it? I usually Start the switch with tegra rcm and Hekate_ctcaer_5.6.5.bin

You use the fusee.bin that is associated with that build if you are using fusee, if you are using hekate to boot fss0 build then you need updated package3.
 
So it's possible to just insert fusee in tegra rcm and Start the switch with jig tool inserted? Or should i use Hekate_ctcaer_5.6.5.bin as before?
 
It worked upgrading AMS and ofw. But a lot of games are not running when i Start the switch with fusee. When i Start it with the old Hekate_ctcaer_5.6.5 it gives me the error: incorrect fusee Version! Why are a lot of my SD games are not working?
 
I just installed the last hekate 6.2.1 and moved the bootloader folder to SD. But the switch only starts if i inject the fusee payload. And then most of the games are not running. I dont really understand how to update the sig patches. Is there an easy way to do it? Sorry for noobie questions...

Okay, thank you so much. Updating the SIG patches helped me fixing it. Only one New game is not running: Schim. When i try to start it switch wants to connect to the Internet. Really weird. Never had this with a game before.

Use Hekate to load package3, if you use fusee.bin you have to jump through hoop
 
Noob here: I have two Nintendo switches. One of them was modded (I paid someone) back in late 2020 but died on me so it hasn’t been turned on in 2 to 3 years.
The other switch (xaw) I just picked up because he only wanted 125. I got an RCM jig. I would like to get both of them softmodded.
I followed this tutorial on YouTube, but I was a bit hesitant when I had to join the telegram group for the SD files. I’m having trouble formatting my SD cards to Fat 32. Would all this be possible with a MacBook?

The last time I turned on my PC was before Covid happened.

Yes, you can format the SD cards to FAT32 even with a MacBook. You can use a program called GUIFormat.

When I start Atmosphere, the screen goes black and stays that way.
Even if you use hekate, it will still work.
How can I fix it?
Atmosphère ver1.7.1
switch ver18.0.0
Can anyone help me?

What was the last thing you did before it stopped working?

I updated the mainframe version with Daybreak.
I updated the switch ver to 18.0.0, but I selected “Install (FAT32+exFAT)” by mistake on Daybreak, and the data on the micro SD was backed up and changed to FAT32.
I started up the computer, but the error code 010041544D530000 came up.
I backed up the data in the micro SD and changed it to FAT32, but now I'm in this situation (T_T).
Thank you for moving the post.
