What is your favorite Custom Firmware (CFW) and why?

[madisonswitch]

I recently installed a modchip (thanks to the community and YT'ers for building up my confidence! hit me up newbs if you have questions! i'm all about giving back to the community!) and I'm slowly trying to figure out the next steps since info about this is scattered ALL OVER THE PLACE!

I'm currently using Hekate + Atmosphere because another amazing guide I found told me to (https://rentry.org/MarikoEmuNAND)

Then, after trying to figure out how to install the HB App Store, I randomly found an amazing homebrew site (https://www.gamebrew.org) and under the Switch section, there are a lot of CFW's available:

• https://www.gamebrew.org/wiki/List_of_Switch_Homebrew_Applications#Custom_Firmwares-0

It seems like the top 4-5 on that page have big communities behind them and strong developer support?

• NeXT
• DeepSea
• ShallowSea
• Atmosphere
• Atmosphere with Hekate (the one I'm using, I think)

Which ones have you played with and which ones do you like?

Is it possible to use multiple CFW's?

Do any of these have mass storage USB support for loading games when docked? I bought a 1 TB micro SD and I have a feeling that isn't going to be enough, esp after partitioning, backups, and such. I already have 1.2 TB of games to install later when I get to that step. It would be great to store your fav games on the micro SD and the rest ready to lock and load on the dock from a massive USB hard drive.

Thanks for reading and happy hacking!
