Don't see many recommendation threads based on specific retailers.
So I pose the question, someone curious about OpenWrt walks into a brick and mortar Micro Center on Black Friday, what should they be walking out with at certain price ranges
microcenter is reknown for the raspberry pi loss leader strategy. That probably takes care of 0-200 range. they probably sell the tp link omada stuff, the tp link ethernet adapter, or the ubiquiti APs.
for 200+, do they sell the M1 mac mini? does linux has support for the m1 mac mini yet? the single thread benchies are out of this world for 5W-10W.
