I totally agree! The hardware is so close to Tegra dev boards that if/when we break the Switch kernel, we'll likely have full-blown Linux (or Android) in no time at all. I can't wait to be able to play SNES, PC, and more on this.

While a custom OS and home-brew will be great and increase overall hardware sales, I really hope the Switch doesn't develop a reputation for vulnerability to piracy and turn away third-party game developers so soon..

I agree, very much. What I'm hoping for (and currently have no reason to think otherwise) is that they're using TrustZone to handle all the DRM, which will make piracy a huge, huge amount of work. It may also prevent us from totally owning the console, but we'll see.
