It won't access the Nintendo network, can't use store, etc. not 100% bricked. Sorry

Ah okay, thanks. I'm too scared to mess with most hardware so not always up to date on the terminology. My tinkering is exclusively desktop/laptop stuff.

It's 100% worth the mod OR put that money toward a steam deck/Linux handheld. Im actually looking to sell this switch to put towards another steam deck. Sooo many more options and better support, not locked into Nintendo bullshit. Put whatever you want on it (like 95% of games right now, I've had very few issues) but did have to learn a bit. Beats the hell out of a locked down ecosystem 100000%.
