Even if you really want to play on Switch there are CFW options that enable GBA emulation.

I've already tried a reset and the issues persist. I've just lost faith with Fairphone. I took a photo yesterday, the preview in the camera app shows a photo has been taken. If i click the preview I get a "failed to load media" warning and if I open the gallery app or file manager the photo is nowhere to be seen. This simply isn't good enough. They've been well known for buggy software all over the internet so I'm not entirely surprised.
I don't have MicroG I'm just using the stock ROM with Play Services. I too replaced most the default apps with foss options with Fossify being a big chunk of them. It's not the apps that are the issue, it's the Fairphone software.
Since my original comment I've already bought a second hand Galaxy S25 Edge as I haven't tried Samsung since the Galaxy S3. Not exactly the privacy focused experience I'd ideally like but the Fairphone is becoming unusable after only 3 months. There's no way I'd be using it in 7 years.
The most annoying bug for me currently is the camera will sometimes just not save photos. It'll appear as though it has worked and then later when I go to look at the photo there's just no sign of me ever taking anything.
The second biggest annoyance would be the touchscreen simply not working sometimes until I lock and unlock the device again.
Finally we have the seemingly random lack of charging where I'll wake up some mornings to find it hasn't been charging at all despite being plugged in all night.
I've been running a Fairphone 6 for about 6 months now and it's by far the buggiest phone I've ever used. I'd love to keep using it until the security updates stop but it's already such a miserable experience already I can't imagine how bad it'll be in a few years time.
I'm tempted to give it a go but I exclusively type using swipe gestures on my phone so I'm not sure that's a learning curve I want to commit to.
Apparently 28% of developers don't know what a Monopoly is.
Their entire social media presence is pathetic and their products are poor quality. They only exist because they throw money at marketing.
I find the Steam Deck far too heavy and bulky unfortunately. I'd love a Switch sized handheld PC.
Windows 8.1 was great. My favourite iteration of Windows ever.
I liked Deezer until it's redesign a few years ago. Now the design language is so ugly I could never consider paying for it. Their biggest flaw for me though is that some albums are just randomly not available in lossless and the only alternative is mp3 which I refuse to use in 2025. Some lossy codecs are great so why do Deezer and Qobuz still mess around with mp3?

I don't particularly want to switch to /e/os. I've used CalyxOS in the past and absolutely loved it but I just want to stick with the stock ROM on my phones these days, even if that means having to use a little bit more Google than I'd like.
