Hacking [POLL] Free CFW Usage

Been loading atmosphere in some form as early as when hbmenu became accessible by pushing a hekate+kips rather than going through the web browser.

When reinx came out, atmosphere was not released. So there was no question of which was better because one didn't exist for users yet.

Oooooh. Well that makes sense why its popular. Didn't they start off with cracked sx os?

Atmosphere until about July, by then SX got to a point that made it redundant.

Sort of want to get a different CFW at this point given the features I'm missing but XCI files

Honestly? I started using SX os the very day it was available. I dont remember the date but I counted on them for all things xbox360 back in the day and couldn't wait for their Switch installments. I modded countless xbox360's and was never disappointed with their products. When they announced a Switch product, I had my credit out and ready.

There hasn't been any publicly cracked sx release to my knowledge.
Though I think ReiNX did have Nintendo code for es_patches when it first came out, hence why it was distributed on that certain subreddit.
(Someone please correct me on this if I'm mistaken)

The "cracked SX OS" was a fake that bricked people's Switches.

I'm trying to remember this right. They did remodel the sx os homebrew menu. Loading XCI wasnt working for sure. The only thing that worked was homebrew. I know cracking sx os had a brick code but after the drama, they eventually removed this code. Wish i can just time travel for the information

The brick code stubbed in SX OS v1.3 is not the same as the "cracked SX OS" that was distributed.
The "cracked SX OS" (pozzNX) was designed specifically to brick switches by clearing PRODINFO.

Maybe a week or two after Atmosphere supported 7.0 via sept.

I have a setup of ArgonNX with Atmosphere, SXOS, ReiNX and Hekate

I mostly use SXOS purely from habit and for convenience, although when the whole 7.0 key thing became an issue I did start dabbling a bit more with pure Atmosphere at that point... So approx a month ago I think ?

I'm not sure where to vote... I dont have any CFW yet, was looking to check my options, then that shitstorm happened
