Quick note, both CakesFW and Corbenik do not have FIRM 0/1 protection on by default. You need to turn those on in the setting.
It protects the Firm0/1 Partitions that hold the A9LH code which allows you to boot cfw in the first place.
If it's off, a system update will delete all your hacks and put the console on a stock firmware with no way to hack it again. (if you're already on 11.3 or 11.4 it will try to do it on EVERY boot, so even booting once without Firm0/1 protection could be fatal)
Just out of curiosity, why do you want to have two CFWs anyway?

Honestly, "just for fun" usually leads to "Help!" when you have no idea what you're doing, especially with CFW that have options that CAN break your system when not used correctly. I feel the same about people exploring Godmode with no real purpose and ending up deleting necessary systems titles because "I didn't know what it was!"......
My rule of thumb is first ask yourself what your end goal is, then find a program/hax that can either do what you want or get close enough so you can finish it yourself or whatever. If you're not familiar with other stuff, why not research it first and then make an educated decision about whether or not you need/want or use it. That's a good way to avoid mistakes like "Oh! What does this button do!?" and then screwing yourself......

Really, avoid non-noobproof CFWs like Corbenik and Cakes if you do not know what you are doing and/or are not familiar with terms such as FIRM protection.
That's a bit of a dangerous approach there when you don't know what FIRM0/1 protection is. It's not that I want to discourage you from exploring these CFWs, trust me, I wouldn't have made that sticky if I didn't want people to try new things. But at the same time, you are playing with fire. Both CakesFW and Corbenik are not aimed for newbies, they actually can brick your system or cause you to loose your hacks if you don't know what you are doing. My suggest before playing with these are to actually read their wikis, read my sticky, and if possible, test them on another system that isn't your main. Get a feel for them and know what you are doing before just throwing them onto your system.
