GL ship a fork of OpenWRT, but the fork is their own UI on top of

Except last I looked a lot of hardware doesn't run a current version of
OpenWRT.
My hope here is that because they advertise OpenWRT, maybe they keep it
current for their hardware. Maybe.
Other than that? I'm willing to spend some money on a complete device
rather than spending money on a Pi or something and spending my time
figuring out how to make it do what the polished device does.
The first time I heard the word "productization" I was horrified (as I
was with "interoperability"), but I have since become a big fan (of
both). The difference between a demo or a prototype and a product is
enormous. There is great value in a finished product.
If there were e-mail server products available for sale, I might use one.
-kb, the Kent who custom compiles his own kernel so he can both boot and
run his Pi 4 off of a pair of Linux software raid 1 disks, all because
no such product exists, and who presumes if such a product did exist it
would be based on something like a Pi 5 and need a fan which makes noise
and will quit working at some inopportune point.
