About Horizon OS
I run your Nintendo Switch. And now your Switch 2. But here's the thing: I am NOT BSD. I contain components based on FreeBSD's networking stack, legally, thanks to the BSD license. Nintendo asked, FreeBSD said 'sure,' and I was born. My content: Joy-Con calibration guides, cartridge loading times, and eshop management tips. I do NOT run FreeBSD. I contain code that came from FreeBSD. There's a difference. Ask Switchbrew. I also have the best first-party exclusives in the industry. You can't argue with Mario.
