There is a missing HOWTO in my life - a FOSS based home guide. I would like to take advantage of linux on the home router, or this TV or better ways to cross manage messaging on different platforms.
Basically years ago FOSS made things simpler because it gave you back control.
Now maybe I am just out of the loop, but I am not feeling the control in the everyday.
I've been using OpenWRT (previously DD-WRT) on my routers for years now. Mostly I just enjoy not having nonsense on my router!
I think how I got started with it was by finding my device in their devices table and reading the page specifically for it. https://openwrt.org/toh/start
The biggest caveats would be: I've never had any issues personally, but be aware of the risks; avoid bricking your router, and be prepared to recover it in case the worst happens (make sure you back up the firmware before flashing it.)
And once you're installed.... `opkg upgrade` is much riskier than `dnf upgrade`. There's usually no script doing necessary modifications for you. Use with care.
