Hacking Updated to 2.0

[Ultima1221]

When I got my Switch, I didn't really think about homebrew, but now that I have beaten Zelda and am only sidequesting, I realize this would be the perfect machine for it.

However, I updated to 2.0, and someone told me that I probably won't be able to get homebrew right when it comes out until a downgrade comes out too. How true is this?

Umm system been out for a week, how soon do you expect homebrew on such a short notice? Did you buy it to play nintendo switch games on it or for hacking and homebrew? If you bought it for playing games, don't worry about homebrew, if you bought it for homebrew, then put it away and don't use it or update it until someone says so.

It's fine, just update until there's an announcement.

I'd tell everyone to update to 2.0, if there's an exploit it'll be for that. If the exploit gets released and Nintendo patches it in a 2.1 update there may be no way to update to 2.0.

With both the 3DS and Wii U it took years for them to get hacked. This won't be different with the Switch.

The pre-2.0 firmware can't access the browser, can it? I'd imagine it'll be more likely to see an exploit through the browser than games that can run on the launch firmware.
