Is that not the case with atmosphere also?

I think what Rei was getting at is "Medoli900 was mistaken, ReiNX can use creport if you want and nothing is sent to Nintendo..." Basically, he's refuting the cons listed for ReiNX. Also, and I'm speaking for myself here, using a "deprecated way" of getting into the homebrew menu doesn't mean much because I consider having to use hblauncher to override another app as being deprecated when you could have just installed it a month ago as an NSP instead and already get the "new" features that hbmenu now implements.

Why is Switches with lower serial#s with the original firmware at 4.1 prefable?

Supposedly, there is a warm boot exploit called Deja Vu coming soon, and soon means anywhere from "released this week" to "released in three years." If you want to utilize this warm boot exploit, then you have to have a Switch <= 4.1. In my honest opinion, this is only relavent to Switches that are ipatched and more trouble then it's worth. IIRC, it's a pegaswitch exploit which means you have to be tethered to a webserver to utilize it, rather that being able to use a payload launcher in the form of a mod chip, dongle, or smartphone. I don't know exactly what sort of level access you can get with Deja Vu, but I highly doubt it'll give us anywhere the same access as you can with current RCM exploits.

as someone who haven't tried atmosphere, how do you access homebrew channel on atmosphere?

I believe this is referring to the fact that ReiNX uses the exefs of hbloader to redirect to homebrew menu instead of using the made up "hbloader.nsp" that switchbrew released for 2.0. It's a moot point, really, but clearly that's the only "flaw" they were able to find.

The same way you access it on all the others. Via the Album app

oh i see, so it's different on how it was implemented but nothing changes on the user end
thanks

You can use creport on reinx though. And nothing is sent to nintendo because of the custom PM implemented. The toolkit is pretty solid. And we have more features coming soon
Huh. I read that your Creport was an old implementation pre-Atmosphère 0.7.5. It's great if you updated it. Admittedly, keeping up with the Switch scene is pretty hard while you have 3 projects and 4 homeworks to do, plus finals that are coming :P

Yes but I was told that RajinX is better than ReiNX and some said it is better than RajinX. That's why I am not sure which one.

RajNX is a project born out of salt. The only reason it exists is as an excuse for the developer to create the patches that allow piracy for the Atmosphere CFW without openly saying he made them for Atmosphere, because you know, "Piracy is bad, mmkay."

Thats an opinion right ? :)

*Ignored Piracy issues..thats not my point*

So RejINX is better than RajiNX ?

Honestly, I'd avoid RajNX for the same reason I'd avoid SX OS and that's because both projects are closed source so you'd never know what they are doing underneath the hood. They could be harvesting certificates from users, intercepting credit card info if you type it in, or other nefarious things. If you must pick a CFW, choose either ReiNX or Atmosphere. I wouldn't recommend anything else.

rajkosto has also stated that he will no longer be supporting RajNX in an effort for people to move to the CFW it is actually based off of which is Atmosphere.

Ahh, I see. So, I should get ReiNX and Atmosphere or should I get Atmosphere ? I am a little bit confused. Sorry.

SX OS:
Pros: You can load XCI, I guess. I think dOPUS can install XCI on other CFW, but I'm not sure.
Cons: Behind a payed license. Closed-Source (if that's a cons for you). Shitty "EmuNAND".

ReiNX:
Pros: Can install NSP. Has a toolkit homebrew (I'm not sure of the quality of it though).
Cons: Doesn't have Creport reimplemented, so every time the console crashes the logs are sent to Nintendo. Uses a deprecated way to redirect the gallery to the Homebrew Channel.

Atmosphère:
Pros: Is the original CFW that other CFW is based on. Has the reimplementation of Creport.
Cons: Doesn't natively support unsigned NSP installation (some kips has been made to enable it though).

Every CFW needs a way to push payloads (through TegraRCM and a USB-* to USB-C cable, an Android phone, or a dongle) and a way to enter RCM.
Déjà-Vu is an exploit in the making which will works for 2.0-4.0 (maybe more) firmware which will not need a jig. If you want to use a jig, the firmware kinda doesn't matter (6.x has some issue with some homebrew, like custom theme).

Also, the "emuNAND" on SX OS is not really an emuNAND.

EmuNAND isn't shitty anymore. In fact, it's better than what we have on 3DS.

    @Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons.

    Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.
