I have many nerdy friends who have been Linux users for ages. But most of them don’t know such a thing as Openwrt exists or have never bothered to give it a try. It’s a very fun piece of software to play with and can be extremely useful for routing traffic. Wondering why it isn’t more popular/widely used.
Gotcha. Very different in the States in this regard.
In a lot of regards that concern QoL, sadly. Have a good one.
Good luck. o/
