I've never read about the emuEMMC being difficult to set up, nor is it janky with 2.5.3. It's literally install SX OS licence.dat and boot files on an SD card, boot into the SX OS selector and then create the emuNAND (probably best to create in the ''hidden'' partition rather than use files for the emuNAND. Wait a while and it's done. Make sure the other partition is FAT32 rather than exFAT because we all know how janky exFAT is on the Switch.
Installing games >4GB thru USB cable is either impossible or too slow. Using a USB stick formatted with ExFAT is still the best solution.
The janky setup is the whole 'dump untouched EMMC, boot into sysEMMC CFW, downgrade from 7.X to anything older, backup SD, enable emuEMMC, boot it, make sure it's working, copy back untouched EMMC, restore it' flow. This is hours of drudgery.
Also, SX emuEMMC is implemented wrong as hell and can and frequently does corrupt, even on Fat32. Simple raw read/write redirect is not how reliable storage redirection works for these purposes. That is a good way to do an emuEMMC that features a laggy OS and frequent file corruption, though.

Not true in any way at all. Goldleaf installs through USB without issue, is fast. Fluffy is apparently also fast, but I have never used it so I cannot speak to it.

no, it's not
buy a decent cable?
i have installed several 14gb games with no issues at all in under 10 minutes
I use Apple's USB-C cable, it's the best.
The last time I tried cable transfer was with an older version - they either didn't work with >4 GB files or too slow. Maybe it's faster now? But I will still use USB stick method, it's easier for me - too lazy to setup cable and run Python script (I use Mac).
Speak for yourself. Considering it's effectively replaced both the WiiU and the 3DS, it can go either route. Honestly, I find it unwieldy when used as a portable device and it effectively almost never leaves the dock. The games objectively look and play better on TV with a controller."
That said, you people argue about this shit like it's your personal identity and/or waifu. It's a fucking video game console - relax already. If the hacking method of choice isn't your bag, shrug and move on.
Back when people were playing online, XCI was regarded as being ''safer'' than NSPs. That said, NOWADAYS XCI loading isn't a major selling point for that fact.
However XCI loading DOES allow loading direct from USB stick or USB HDD - so all those switch users with teeny tiny little SD cards can finally have access to more titles on a cheap USB drive.
See in action here -
With the ability to repack NSP files, along with all their DLC and updates into your own XCI file using JRoad's excellent NSC Builder app - https://gbatemp.net/threads/nsc_bui...lder-game-updates-dlc-in-a-single-xci.522486/ - then suddenly XCI loading may be a lot more interesting to ReINX users, IF it were added tomorrow.
To answer the question of this thread: yes, 7.x is coming. TX says the update will soon be released. From their forums:
Also (SX OS haters, this one's for you):
And futures updates should be faster. From their forums:

incorrect, as has been said previously.. SX OS also supports USB transfers of NSP and XCI as well as direct play of XCI files from USB external storage (and of course you can copy files to/from the USB storage to SD card as well).

External drives give you the opportunity to preload more games to take with you if you're going on a long trip and won't necessarily have access to a laptop during that time. Bored of playing the games on your SD card? Plug in the USB HDD / stick and have a look at what you've got on there, load them up and decide what takes your fancy.. then if you decide to play the game for a length of time - copy it from the USB storage to the SD storage. Pretty easy concept once you think outside the box. Perfect for if you're working out in the mines for the next few weeks, or going on a cruise, or being shifted to a different office in another state / country for a while.

I use the USB C cables that came with the joy con charging grip and the pro controller - or should we now begin bickering over which USB C cable is the best?

but blahblah, SX OS users have no need to have auto RCM on and worry about a totally drained battery or burnt fuses. We use emuNAND. No need for auto RCM or burned fuses at all, so your scenario would never occur.
What the hell are you even talking about? Burned fuses have nothing to do with anything I'm talking about. Using emuEMMC for purposes other than online play is absolute lunacy. The only thing more NUTS is using a jig EVERY TIME YOU WANT TO BOOT.
Stop posting bad faith absurd nonsense in an effort to defend your favorite criminal organization.
TX does not have the technological ability to catch up. They can promise whatever they want, just like they did under the Gateway brand. Those promises will remain empty (just like they did under Gateway) unless the Atmo folks disclose their TSEC exploits.
"There are reasons for the delay, and those reasons directly relate to the features in SX OS that you have all paid for." is completely false. The 'delay' is due to TSEC. TX/Gateway/True Blue don’t have the bugs. So they can either show the Sept logo or they need to find their own bugs and write their own exploit(s).

I use emuNAND so if I decide to sell my switch sometime in the future, then it won't be a banned system and the buyer can then play online. Also it's easy to eject the SD card and image the entire thing as a backup, should anything go wrong. That way I don't need to manually make sure I've backed up my save games etc.etc. I can also have seperate SD card with emuNAND with different profiles so the kids don't fight over anything and no one can be blamed for deleting save games or uninstalling games etc.
For me, that is ease of use worth using SX OS for. When any of that functionality comes to CFW then I will use whatever solution best suits my wants.
I don't consider using a jig and the dongle (which are in the cartridge plastic snap lock container that came with the padded carry case) a hassle. I've had to use them a total of once in the past week since installing SX OS with emuNAND, because I removed the SD card to make an image of it once everything was up and working.
Yeah, your setup is extremely strange and non-standard.

One of the sites that weren't blocked on the school's network was some file uploading sites. I would upload some games, write down the URL and take it to school one day. -

It was easy to bypass some of the restrictions, as one of the admins left a registry key in the administrative shares drive, which allowed me to get around the blocking of some sites.
