I have been using one of their top end routers for nearly a year. Have stock fw installed and chosen not to flash with openwrt. I’m privacy conscious but figured with the amount of customers and forum space dedicated to their products someone would have noticed any funny business by now. Router works great and have had no problems over several updates.

If Fedora would stop requiring reboots for daily updates that would be great. I might as well use windows for this kind of BS

Fedora but I’m not loving it. Due to my hardware I think I’m limited to that, arch and openSuse.

Use mint or Ubuntu and try a dual boot install if you have drive space. That way you can use both and gradually stop using windows
