    It's not homebrew, but I'm surprised this is even on the eShop! https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/nos-new-operating-system-switch/

    It's a mini "operating system" game with an onscreen cursor. (It's not an actual OS, that's just the branding). The only real features that aren't gimmicks is that it lets you store small notes and todo's.

    It's on sale for $2 right now, which could actually be worth it depending on your use cases. Not too exciting, but it is some basic functionality that would've been nice built into the Switch's OS.

    Edit: apparently this sale is only in the US, it's definitely not worth more than $5, so don't even consider it! The controls feel unpolished/rushed too.

          Not much, it's mostly just interesting that it exists in the first place. There's a calculator, a note taking "app", a todo list, a drawing "app". But it very much feels like the kind of fake-desktop interface you'd see in an easter egg within an actual game.

            @VGMoose Definitely not worth it, sounds like a computer to buy stuff in a simulator game.

              @VGMoose Why would someone charge for this at all? It's like a novelty you'd see in a kiosk, for the "drawing app", you can't even export such, can you?

              yep

                  @funeraldinerfan you indeed can't export, only screenshot. It's mostly a novelty!

                  Still, I never thought I'd see a description on the eShop that sells itself as "Transform your favorite console into an amazing, and surprisingly small personal computer." (Even if it's misleading/buggy/limited/basic/expensive/etc).
