Hello first of all im sorry if this has been asked before but ive had a look and could find.

I'm wondering if there is a version of EmulationStation or Retropie or Emuelec or anything similar that I can run on the switch without having to install Linux or Android ??

Any help would be very much appreciated !

have retroarch set up but just such a better layout with the other frontends
True but look at it like this. You just use it a short while to just boot a game. So it shouldn't be too much of a dealbreaker. I mean sadly there isn't any other options.

All I know is you can change how Retroarch look in settings and "Menu driver" but not sure if it works on Switch.

you forgot to end the phrase with imwo, because best is xml changing the hurt to the eye bright blue for the one called moonlight blue and using flatui theme, but maybe is better for switch because retroarch as good it can be for the best old console emulators, it's a mess in all meanings possible. And unless you using nasa device, better to have as most as fluid ui possible and ozone is simple enough to be explosion free because all frontends modules are running when not needed or start fighting one with other because they confront same as dark and light do, but if you know to do it better then use your own frontend... or to the hell, let's play actual games, maybe we find one good. Now I'm into porn games, but made with taste, that means naughty as hell and be realistic and offer something, if it's just porn what I want, I'd go to a porn site with real women not renders I mean, I'm still use my hand to jerk, gotta buy one of those things that look like blenders

Retroarch + Rom forwarders is the "cleanest" you will get from HOS tbh, if you want something that looks cool and clean your best option is Android tbh where you have DIG, Launchbox and Daijisho for example.

Você pode criar atalhos a partir dos núcleos retroarch. Pesquise no YouTube: Como criar atalhos de jogos e aplicativos no Switch.

(You can create shortcuts from the retroarch cores. Search on YouTube: How to create game and application shortcuts on the Switch.)

    I know the pricing of electronics nowadays isn't "how much it actually costs" but "how much we can get away with", but putting up a poll is just cynical.
