psiox posted:do you mean using the imagebuilder or actually compiling? because, having done both, i can assure you that the binary imagebuilder is FAR less of a pain in the rear end and compiling is basically unnecessary unless you really need to run at the bleeding edge well, yes. i'm asking if there's a reason to compile, or i guess if the default configs for the packages from the imagebuilder are fine i remember customizing it pretty extensively last time, but that was over 10 years ago and beyond knowing that a lot of that was busybox (for features that are enabled by default now) i don't remember what else or why lol but i also remember that the imagebuilder sucked back then so it was kinda necessary anyway

I have a Nighthawk XR500 that runs like, dumaOS or something. Is OpenWRT basically that (with LuCI) but with more tools and stuff? I can’t think of use cases for me rn but I also am a networking idiot

i have no idea what that is, but openwrt is an embedded linux distro that runs on everything from the old wrt54g to x86 computers and whatnot LuCI is the web interface for configuring it (and it's modular, so if you install new packages they can add a LuCI interface). but while it can be router firmware, it's more of a general linux distro than, well, router firmware that doesn't mean it's hard to use though. LuCI is pretty easy to use, if you can configure a router using a web interface that isn't a wizard you'll be fine
