I apologize for the strange/dumb question, but it is a really important one.
I currently have a Nintendo Switch that I want to use Linux on, but I need I way to use a keyboard and mouse on the device (in order to configure it). I found out that the Linux kernel does have a driver to use the USB port, but it won’t be able to supply power for the peripherals.
I was thinking of getting a USB C hub and hooking up my switch power cord to it, but I wanted to know if the dongle would supply power to the keyboard and mouse if the Switch is not able to.
TL:DR - If I have a device that is not able to provide power through a USB C port, would a dongle be able to provide the needed power to the peripherals by connecting a power cord to it?
