I have Dynalink DL-WRX36, running openwrt since day 0. Iirc it was 60 euro year ago. Everything works, wireguard too. No complaints. I believe there is openwrt stable build for it already, though I an still running snapshot as I am too lazy to update.
But why it isn’t WuSE - Weichware und System Entwicklung
Look into beelink mini s12 pro for example. Currently 199 eur on Amazon. Just install Linux on it and Bob’s your uncle. It’s x86 so no weird arm issues. Full support of the hw in mainline kernel.
Intel, 500 GB SSD , 16 GB ram, GPU acceleration, WiFi 6, Bluetooth, 1 Gbps link. You can add another SSD drive. Raspberry is clearly an underdog here.
I use collectd and graphs on my openwrt router. It can even use data from mqtt-connected thermometers and gather metrics from other collectd instances.
Gnome terminal, although I am on xfce. Easy to configure, has tabs and shortcuts. I am using terminal for 90 % of my work.
Don’t do it. Instead of doing something useful you will be in a constant process of updating and rebooting and dealing with breaking changes and eventually you will give up and switch back to Leap.
$HOME/bin or /usr/local/bin depending on whether you want to make it available for a single user or for everyone
And check your $PATH of course
My first Linux distro was SuSE 7.x, just because we had an installation box in the high school library. 8 CDs to install packages from etc. Funny stuff.
Then I played with Gentoo & Debian for a couple of years, but went back to openSuSE once I started my first real job. We had to use it because we needed a Red Hat compatible and enterprise ready Linux. And I am using openSuSE to this day if I have a choice. Everything works, if I quickly need something YaST can configure a lot of shit and is just super user-friendly.
But I recommend Leap for day-to-day work, Tumbleweed with its rolling updates keeps updating almost 24/7.
i/o is shit on that thing. Syncing any reasonable amount of data is out of question.
Stop obsessing about Reddit and create a content on Lemmy instead. People will come once they see there’s enough activity here.
Thanks. I logged in immediately to update the image, but luckily it was already updated by watchtower yesterday.
