Did these guys really get Linux running on a Nintendo Switch?

Code execution is all the rage these days, but can your Switch do *this*? ;-) #switchnixpic.twitter.com/NMnBq61tOM

The reaction on the Nintendo Switch Hacking subreddit is characterized by both excitement and skepticism.
One skeptical user says:
Alright f0f...youve peaked our (Edit: my) interests. But is this dual-boot, a complete install of Linux, or total bs and you've got a Pi or Rockboard in there. A teardown of your machine while it's running would prove all...
But another commentator pointed out:
It's really not hard to believe someone got it running Linux at this point when Nvidia has Tegra X1 Linux images on their site.
I'm thinking this is totally legit.
