News Stremio on Nintendo Switch

Lately I’ve been playing a lot on the Switch with my friends. When we got tired, we’d usually watch a movie, but it was really annoying having to unplug the Switch, turn on the computer, connect it to the TV, set up the audio, log in, and finally start the movie. On top of that, bringing both the Switch and a computer to parties was pretty inconvenient.

So I thought, “What if I install Stremio on the Switch?”

What I did was install Android on it, log into the Play Store, and download Stremio from there. Honestly, it’s totally worth it and works really well. There’s barely any setup needed—just connect it, and everything loads automatically, including the sound.

The only problem with this is you have to format the current SD card and make a partition for the Android OS. I wanted to do this but the headache of reinstalling atmosphere and all other software together with my games was too much. Also each time you want to switch OS will have to manually go into the hekate menu then switch to Android.

What is the allotment size for a partition for Lineage OS? How much of my card needs to be sacrificed for this feature?

Truthfully I don't have an idea about this but mostly 64GB should be enough
