The switch has different things users call custom firmware.
- CFW: Most known used term for "Custom firmwares" (SXOS, Atmosphere, ReiNX). These are actually patched firmware, or firmware patchers, not real "custom" firmwares.
- Packages: These are ready to use, pre-setup, CFWs bundled with additional useful homebrew, such as appstore and homebrew menu.
- OS: Fully replaced Operating System. These is a real "custom firmware", probably not what you want when looking for "CFW".
