There was another RU-vidr who made a 3D printed docked switch pro. That stayed in docked mode by removing the screen, added a Noctua fan and over clocked without unlocking. I think if you made that 3D printed case with cooling you might be able get a few more percents better on your testing.

3:20 and this is where the Switch lite excels. While it cant clock as high as the v2/oled, the Oled has a NERF'D FAN ( Which no one ever talks about ) which has seen an abundance of switch HW being fried. The V1 switch OC numbers are also considered safe when applied to the switch lite, but can be a problem on other v1 HW.

As someone who has been really going down the research rabbit hole of getting an arm laptop for everyday linux use, this video was eye opening in a whole different way. Would there be any chance of a similar emulation style showcase on the pinebook pro or even a previous gen snapdragon 8cx? While not the intention of your video, if the switch can pump out this much power It makes me more optimistic for trying to make the change to an arm based computer.

I think there should be a SteamOS- Like front end OS based on linux for modded switches that plays Switch games sort of like how the original xbox could install linux dashboards and still play the games.

I mean this to me is a sign that the next Switch should be capable of all of this with ease and maintain good battery life when undocked. I assume it will upscale when docked only just like this example. I am excited for the future.

That screen tearing may be an Nvidia issue. On Linux, the new display system Wayland has tearing issue with Nvidia due to Nvidia not having their drivers fully up to date for it. (The fixes to solve the issue have been pushed back 4 times now but SHOULD be there in driver 560 at the latest). If the Switch was an AMD GPU this tearing may not happen as on Wayland compositors by default there is always v-sync all the time on everything. Now if the Switch Linux is rendering with the old Xorg/X11 system this is not applicable

I am genuinely blown away by how well Linux games run on the Switch. Usually putting an operating system on top of consoles like this doesn't end well to say the least.

Makes me wonder if they did have some internal plans to support 4k resolutions on at least the OLED switch that fell through once they started on the Switch 2.
