They also modify atmosphere a bit (sig patches I think)
Hekate/Atmosphere loads the sigpatches provided with Kosmos, they're not baked in at compile time.

As far as I'm aware they use the pre-compiled binaries of Atmosphere from its' repository.

I prefer atmosphere but I use SXOS at the moment. The reason is that I have my sysMMC at fw v1.0.0 and I use emuMMC for my cfw. However, I really prefer a file-based type emuMMC over a partition type since it's easier to backup, restore, and even transfer from one sd to another. And as we all know, file-based emuMMC is still not optimized for atmosphere. There isn't even a user-friendly tool to backup and restore partition-based emuMMC.

Once it's optimized for atmos, I'll switch back. (No pun intended)

Kosmos isn't a CFW, it is just a CFW pack that is bundled with Atmosphere.

Atmosphere isn't even a CFW by normal scene rules, you have to invoke nintendo scene rules of "call it a cfw as we can't have a real cfw and I WANT CFW"
 
Should I update to 9.01 with the latest atmosphere or stick with 8.1.0 and the latest atmosphere (which I did) ? I want to play the latest backup game but I am concern about homebrew stuff.
 
Yeah, I think this thread is as pointless as that. It's as if every single thread related to SXOS doesn't automatically turn into a "which cfw is better?" thread.
Just made this for anyone who does want to rant about which is better :/
However 77 votes are with atmosphere... just sayn

Atmos is free, runs at the latest OFW, easily runs games. It's the best so far.
SXOS is fine and all, but costs money.

ReiNX is lagging behind atm (useless atm when patched atmosphere exist), but it is the best/2nd best when up to date.
