The Switch also benefits from a nearly complete open-source reimplementation of the full operating system and kernel.

I am more annoyed than I should be that the accents faces in a different direction for fusée…


To be fair it's not the same sound


That's a patch set for an official OS, not a "nearly complete open-source reimplementation of the full operating system and kernel".


No, it's a nearly complete open-source reimplementation of the full operating system and kernel. I don't know where you're getting the idea that it's a patch set - you can take a look at the roadmap and design docs here (or just browse the source) if you'd like.

The readme literally lists a couple driver changes to make CFWs easier, breaks in the boot and crypto chain of trust, and "Application-level Horizon OS patches, used to implement desirable CFW features".

That's not a "nearly complete reimplementation".

A bunch of not started work in a planned features doc doesn't change that.


If you scroll down in the document you'll find the completed section, which includes the Kernel.


It's a very ascetic ukernel, which is a very tiny piece of a horizon derived OS. Like, single digit percentages from a LOC perspective.
