Hi, I've found some resources to Jailbreak the Nintendo Switch. However I've got some bad experience with jailbreaking with nintendo stuff. Futhermore, my Switch is updated, and it seems to not be a good thing.

Do you have some more updated resources to do so ? Do you have some advice ?

Thank you very much

the first step if you have 0 clue is find out if the switch you have can be hacked via software. yhr ones yhat can be hacked via software, are the ~20M switched produced before May 2018. If your switch was made after (e. g model with the better battery life switch lite, switch oled, the few patched oh switch after 2018) it requires a hard mod to hack, or alternatively use a switch cart.

firmware for the switch im particular doesnt matter much unless youre hacking it with pegasus(?), which means you had an ancient swotch that eas never updated past like fw 4.0

though if you had a bad experience with jailbreaking nintendo stuff, I dont recommend it unless youre willing to learn about the upkeep about how to handle updates and stuff. the switch is alightly harder than previous devices (and imo isnt a high bar, but if you had problems with previous devices, its not looking good)
