Kind of like how the Wii had IOS, the Wii U and CafeOS (as well as IOSU for the ARM CPU), and the Switch with Horizon. Does the 3DS operating system have any proper internal names beyond the title of the native_firm file?

The interesting bits are left unspoiled for your reading leisure.

It's called Horizon OS just like the Switch one. The Switch one is actually a rewritten version of the 3DS one.
