Shotcut an amazing video editor.

Openwrt Routers can be fun too!

Openwrt bricked 2 of my routers. Be careful

Openwrt is awesome! It has the gui with the best ratio of ease of use/features I ever used in a router. It can require some skills to be installed, but then it's so smooth. I wish we had routers with openwrt straight from oems.

The Turris Omnia is an open, powerful router that comes with OpenWRT.

Turris adds an additional UI and features beyond that, but the OpenWRT UI is still available and the stock firmware can be completely replaced with OpenWRT if so desired.

It's a bit pricey but has great specs (1.6 GHz dual core, 2GB RAM, 8GB eMMC) and is an excellent device for tinkerers with headers exposing UART, JTAG, GPIO, and more. It has three internal mPCIe ports as well.

I am not affiliated with Turris but just happened to stumble upon a new one at a garage sale a couple of days ago. Lucky find and I'm excited.

Check out GL.iNet, good hardware and ships with OpenWRT but with their own WebUI. I set up my dad's place with their router and an access point and I don't remember the specifics, but it was really easy to access LuCI and do the advanced stuff.

Can vouch for their routers.

I do want to say though, they technically use their own version of OpenWrt, but you can just as easily install pure OpenWrt too.

Looks nice. Thanks for letting me know.

your links are broken I think

They're broken for me as well. They're missing the https:// at the beginning, which I think is the problem. Here are the links:
