Ha hahah ha... no wait, it's not even funny it's just a poor comparison of something that NO CFW can do compared to features which DO work on SX OS and don't exist at all on other CFW.
so,,getting on to some ACTUAL INFORMATION and doing a REAL comparison, I looked at my posts from 12th March and updated it to current information.
SX OS:
Pros:
XCI files - can mount and play XCI files direct from USB (no need to copy to SD card)
- No need to install each game, just mount and they run - just like inserting a cartridge.
- XCI files do not install tickets so *POTENTIALLY* are not as detectable as NSP files.
USB storage - NSP files can be installed to SD card direct from USB storage, no need for PC. Useful on long journeys.
EmuEMMC / emuNAND - makes it potentially possible to dodge a banned console due to no records kept in system NAND (online play under emuNAND not recommended however).
- different official firmware versions can be installed in system and emuNAND (no fuses are burned)
Cons:
Official software support is usually a couple of weeks after the update comes out.
Costs money - $30 USD (comparison to SD card cost not valid as SD cards massive drop in prices recently).
Cannot use KIPs advanced features - like custom kernel modules (Overclocking module, etc)
MUST use the jig and payload injector on every cold boot (personally, if you're regularly powering off completely, then why? just leave the Switch in sleep mode).
Free CFW:
Pros:
Official firmware 8.0 support usually added just a few days after it is released.
No cost - just the included cost of your SD card for it to be installed on.
Can use KIPs advanced features - like custom kernel modules (Overclocking module, etc).
Can warm reboot payload from CFW (RCM jig still neede for cold boot).
Cons:
No XCI mounting.
No USB storage.
No emuEMMC / emuNAND.
Keep in mind that BOTH options allow installing of NSP titles to SD card and systemNAND (or emuNAND if using SX OS) via USB cable and NUT or SX server.
Both systems allow use of homebrew and backing up save games to alternate computers / storage for safe keeping.
The age old question - which CFW should I use?
Look at the pros and con feature lists and see which features are must have items for you.
Do you want overclocking? Then choose atmosphere.
Do you want loading and playing XCI images direct from USB HDD or USB stick? Then choose SX OS.
Don't want to spend any money at all? The choice is made for you - atmosphere.
So *IS* SX OS worth purchasing RIGHT NOW?
Both free CFW and SX OS have 8.0 support, so decide on which features you want and whether the cost is worth it TO YOU.
