The switch is about as easy to softmod as the 3ds if it's from the first year, year and a half of the switch's availability, but Nintendo did a hardware revision after that to make that hack method no longer work on switches produced after that. The plus side is that there's no way for them to patch out the vulnerability on switches that were already out so if you can get your hands on an early model switch it's still hackable, but all the more recent models including all the lites and oleds need a complicated microsoldering heavy modchips physically installed to hack them.

See https://switch.hacks.guide for the easy step by step manual which starts with checking your serial number to see if your switch is old enough to hack the easy way.
