I have two Anbernic devices (a 353M and an Arc), and both just have the default OS. I've seen plenty of videos about installing these alternative OSes, but I haven't really seen a compelling reason to actually switch. Has anyone tried one and found it way better than the stock OS? What was your reason for wanting to switch?

If you really like Emulation Station or Batocera then you'll like Rocknix and Knulli, probably. I've tried them and I think they're okay, but I prefer to run the modded version of Anbernic's stock OS on my RG35xxh these days.
