You get used to how to find the right way of doing stuff. If you’re still in the Windows biased search results space, everything FOSS is made to look sketchy. Those search results are not deterministic. That bias is intentional. Eventually Microsoft stops biasing you or bribing Google to do the same and your search results will be better. Then you stop using the search results all together for the most part. You’ll figure out that the ways you did things in the past were inefficient and usually wrong. There are better ways that you’ll discover and those repos are self hosted or on gitlab or elsewhere. You eventually just use RPM fusion, or you setup distrobox with Arch and the AUR, or you toss on the Nix package manager and start using flakes. The vast majority of my initial headaches were due to trying to replicate Windows workflows. Then I learned all of that was weird and pretty backwards.
Everything I run is behind a whitelist firewall on an external device largely for this reason, but also learning curiosity.

IMO orphan kernels are not Linux. If it can’t update with mainline, it is a sterile mule. So no, even as an avid user of Graphene, it is not Linux because google has stollen ownership with an orphaned kernel using proprietary and publicly undocumented hardware.
In this vain, no mobile chipset or radio modem has been FOSS or Linux in a very very long time if ever. Like the last radio that was fully documented was the Atheros stuff, and the last processor to come close to fully documented is the stuff Leah Rowe supports in Libreboot and that is only because of her hacking skills.
“Amazon Picks” = a pointer to the highest profit margin product in the search results.
What is the difference really. If a dozen kids hack a doorbell, that is still less than the number of eyes watching and data mining with all of the other options like Nest. Data mining is hacking. Keeping or selling information used to influence a person in any way, is owning a part of their person.
Pretty much all video door bells are hacked garbage albeit pirates or privateers.
but can it play Doom
Shout out to the two Legends I’ve encountered while learning about or building projects:
Christine Lemmer-Webber is the lead dev of Activitypub
Leah Rowe is Libre Boot

I’m no expert. Have you looked at the processors that are used and the RAM listed in the OpenWRT table? That will tell you the real details if you look it up. Then you can git clone OpenWRT, and use the gource utility to see what kind of recent dev activity has been happening in the source code.
I know, it’s a bunch of footwork. But really, you’re not buying brands and models. You’re buying one of a couple dozen processors that have had various peripherals added. The radios are just integrated PCI bus cards. A lot of options sold still come with 15+ year old processors.
The last time I looked (a few months ago) the Asus stuff seemed interesting for a router. However, for the price, maybe go this route: https://piped.video/watch?v=uAxe2pAUY50
Not mine, used Moe’s litterbox not knowing how long it might last as a temp image of OP image as BG for GNOME. Turns out that temp hosting option is probably rate limited…no big deal. It wasn’t a forever internet pic anyways.
