You only method right now is modchip, we don't know if there would be any new exploit in the future, probably yes but no eta.
Mariko is genuinely super secure, I very much doubt there will ever be a software exploit for Mariko units.
Decide if you want hax or a bigger screen, if the former then sell your OLED and buy an unpatched model
Never say never man, the ps3 and the 3ds were both once considered unhackeable, iirc correctly it took 4 years for the 3ds and 7 for the ps3 to get hacked after which the flood gates were opened, there's extremly high interest in hacking the nintendo switch so some time in the future someone will definitely find a way to hack the system, they always do.
GW was out about 2.5 years after release. Another year and Nijhax was released, so nope. Less than 4. barely (for software)...
PS3 still doesn't have full kernel reimplementation. 3DS also.
There is no good example to compare with Switch since Switch is the ONLY modern console that has fully reimplemented kernel (3DS has only partially reimplemented kernel). So we know that there are no available kernel exploits that would allow for software hacking.
Here you go, you can check yourself:

There will probably never be a solderless Switch OLED exploit. The only reason the modchip works on the OLED is because Nintendo decided it's not worth patching an exploit which requires an expensive modchip and skilled installation to use.
Your options are to use modchip, buy an unpatched Switch or download an emulator (assuming you have a good PC).
You could try waiting for a solderless Switch OLED exploit. We can never outrule the possibility that there is an undiscovered exploit out there but if there is you could be waiting years or even decades. You'll probably eventually give up and choose one of the options above instead.

I just have to give another option: Steamdeck.
I have 2 Pokémon, New Kirby game, animal crossing and Mario O. They all Works pretty near perfect. Some slowdowns here and there. But otherwise, like perfect. The Steamdeck is a very good option!
This is still not Nintendo's software being exploited, it is Nvidia's hardware. Only way to fix it is to use different hardware which is not economical at this point in the Switch's lifecycle. Entirely probable that the next gen Switch will join the other modern consoles and be un-hackable.
I didn't know about this and it's not for me until an upgraded Steam Deck which can run games as well as an overlocked Switch can is released but it is a viable alternative.

This is off-topic but what are the limitations on 3DS hacking imposed by only having a partially reimplimented kernel?
A similar statement was made aboout the PS Vita and here we are with a totally free (of Sony's crap) handheld, with so many possibilities on it.
Considering how popular the Switch is, it might be just a matter of time for us to get a method for Switch modding.
