@rajkosto

I wanted to update to 6.0 using the old method on computer to minimize the interferring with the switch to hopefully avoid being banned. But ChoiDujour then throws an error that 6.0 is not yet supported.
I could also use ChoiDujourNX if it works there, but am I right to assume that running homebrew is a higher ban risk than doing most of the things without homebrew on a computer?

ChoiDujour PC is supposed to be used for recovery of destroyed SYSTEM partitions/etc (ill update it when i have the time, soon), if your console is working use ChoiDujourNX

Ok, knowing that I will now update using CDJNX, hoping I won't get banned later on for using homebrew.
Thanks for your clarification.

It worked just fine, I am now on newest FW with 5 fuses burnt (4.1), deleted all the sdfiles, atmosphere etc directly after doing it and will go back online with the switch now.

Where can we download the needed firmware package to update the Switch to firmware 6.0 via ChoiDujourNX?

You still need to acquire the folders containing firmware content somehow, some of the options are:
  • Extract the UPDATE partition from an XCI image of the cartridge that contains the update you want into a folder
These are common cartridges and firmware versions they contain:
Puyo Puyo Tetris/ 1-2 Switch (1.0.0) - would never recommend installing this one as no Switch made with 1.0.0 actually runs it (its a slightly different 1.0.0 with exFAT that bricks you)
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2/ Mario plus Rabbids Kingdom Battle/Cars 3 Driven to Win (2.1.0)
Splatoon 2/ Sonic Forces (2.3.0)
Pokemon Tournament DX (3.0)
Batman The Telltale Series/ Syberia 2/ The Elder Scrolls V. Skyrim (3.0.1)
Attack on Titans 2/ Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (3.0.2)
Bayonetta 2/ Gal Gun 2 (4.0.1)
Kirby Star Allies (4.1.0)
Octopath Traveler (5.0.2)
Taiko no Tatsujin Nintendo Switch Version JPN (5.1.0)​
  • Copy the SYSTEM:/Contents/registered folder from another Switch that is running the firmware version you want
  • Copy the SYSTEM:/Contents folder from a Switch that has a "System update is pending" notification. This will let you pick either the currently running firmware, or the pending firmware to install.

Any idea which released game already has the firmware 6.0 update, then?

This is to say it is currently not possible to upgrade to 6.0 yet with choidujour? (I was under the impression that everything was available at the recommended spot)
No because there are other ways of obtaining the firmware update files such as from a console that already updated to firmware 6.0 or extracting them from a console with a "System Update is Pending" message.

all this does is crash for me.

FAQ:
  • Q: After selecting ChoiDujourNX from the homebrew menu, it tries to start but closes immediately (or gives me a FATAL error, or just hangs at a black screen) !
  • A: The debug svcs are not accessible to homebrew on your system. Either update your hbloader (from the release here: https://github.com/rajkosto/nx-hbloader/releases) or add fullsvcperm=1 to your hekate launch profile. Additionally, if you are trying to run ChoiDujourNX on 1.0.0, you must also add debugmode=1 to your hekate launch profile (this is not required on 2.0.0 or newer, which allows read-only debugging without it).
