​TKMM-NX is a specialized Linux-based operating system designed to enable the Tears of the Kingdom Mod Manager (TKMM) to run directly on the Nintendo Switch console. Developed by the TKMM Team, this OS is built upon Lakka (a lightweight Linux distribution focused on emulation) and incorporates custom adaptations to facilitate seamless operation of TKMM without the need for a PC or modifications to the SD card's partition table.

Features

• Seamless Integration: Allows TKMM to operate directly on the Nintendo Switch, eliminating the necessity for external devices.
• Non-Intrusive Installation: Designed to function without altering the existing partition structure of the SD card, preserving user data and system integrity.
