Former Mikrotik CRS-310-8G+2S+IN owner here. This switch works as advertised and always provided very reliable speeds but I found the learning curve for the Mikrotik interface pretty steep. I have no formal training when it comes to networking but learned a lot watching The Network Berg channel on YouTube. I think the Mikrotik line will serve you well if you want to take the time to learn how to maximize the performance. I bought mine on eBay and BH Photo Video has some models as well. Good luck in your search
I picked up on one of these and it’s been pretty solid for the most part https://a.co/d/gaLPokJ
I tried fully kiosk but had similar issues to yours so now I just run the home assistant app with a dashboard I created using the wallpanel addon https://github.com/j-a-n/lovelace-wallpanel and am very pleased! If you sprung for a slightly nicer android tablet, your experience would likely be even better
The app works well enough but was unable to watch anything I downloaded offline on iOS. Has anyone experienced this and found a fix? I downloaded from the App Store, not Test Flight.
I just tried to make the switch and sadly went back also. I tried Nobara, PopOS and Mint and while I had little to no issues with gaming, other issues caused me to return. I have Lian Li V2 fans and they won’t work without their Windows or Mac software. If the PC is shut down, they spin at their lowest speed and disappear in my BIOS. Lian Li is more to blame here but I don’t want to replace 3 fans that work fine. I had tons of really weird sleep issues on all 3 distros too. Usually after a fresh reboot, it would sleep as expected but after that, it either wouldn’t sleep at all or immediately wake up. I use WOL to turn the PC on when I want to game in the basement so while a minor gripe, this coupled with my fan issues was so frustrating. I also resisted Linux for a while due to no or little HDR support, but missed it less than I thought I would and I know it’s coming very soon. Loved how lightweight the OS was and miss the simplicity. I shall try again someday…
Thank you so much for continuing to try and help. It’s greatly appreciated. I am very new to Linux so while I can do some basics, this is very helpful. I installed pyUSB but still get an error when running the script. I have the script placed in my home folder. Should it be elsewhere? The error I get is “No module named ‘usb’. I did adjust the script to have my controller’s proper identification so feels like I’m missing a small piece of the puzzle!
Thank you for the continued effort to help! If I boot into windows and enable the “MB RPM Sync”, the fans are recognized by the BIOS and ramp up and down as needed. This setting does not persist after a shutdown tho. The only way I’ve found to consistently have the fans work as intended after a shutdown is to unplug the USB cable from the Lian Li controller, which kills RGB. I have the PWM connector from the controller going straight into one of the connectors on my mobo. I can tell that after a shutdown, the fans just rotate on their lowest setting, until I open L-Connect 3 again on windows or disconnect the usb port. I’m attempting to implement this: https://github.com/kryzaach/Lian-Li-Unifan-Sync but think I have it placed in the wrong location, as it errors out immediately.
Came here to say this. I have a few of these. They are rock solid and easily flashed with Tasmota

Watched recently. So damn good. Enjoy!
I used to use Overcast but the UI refresh that happened last year caused me to switch to Pocket Casts, which I’ve been very happy with
Thank you for the reply. I have that disabled but the issue is still happening :/
Weird. It didn’t do that when I updated.
Ancestor Spirit vibes. Very cool!
Awesome. Thanks for the insight!
Thank you for the response. I’ll probably give it a try since my needs are simple
I appreciate the response!
What are your thoughts on Tuta so far?
Really great walking sim with an intriguing story
Thank you very much for this post. It’s ridiculous that this gets enabled by default with no notification to the user
He actually patched it already. WOW!!! So happy to have offline transcoded files back after leaving Plex!

Thank you. This is great info. I will give this a shot when I can.
