This is bad. Because,

a. Switch 2 can get bricked when Nintendo wants you to upgrade to the “Switch Tree.”

c. It all ties to that Nintendo bricking terms of service terms.

      Box64 takes care of the architecture, SteamOS is just well-packaged Arch Linux which has ARM distributions, and people have gotten Steam+games running on the Switch 1 under Ubuntu Switchroot. Nvidia open-ish source drivers exist for Linux and work more or less.
