I don’t recommend GL.inet routers. I have the Marble and it is slower than my ISPs router. It has a thing called network hardware acceleration, and it breaks my home server. Services just stop working well with it. So I keep it turned off. When I reported the issue they said it is working for them and came up with a completely hypotical setup…

With AdGuard enabled it frequently froze and I had to reboot it. For some reason even without AdGuard name resolution is noticeably slower. Doesn’t matter if I use my ISP’s DNS or not.

Also, DynDNS doesn’t support custom names, so I installed an alternative service for mywire.org.

Overally, this box came with drawbacks, but no doubt about it is hackable in the good way.

I would like to try openwrt’s own router, next time.

I use Ctrl, Alt for applications, Super for the os/windowing. I hated MacOS which mixed these things. Luckily X.org let’s you do whatever you like, sometimes it’s just harder to configure. But I like it as it is.

urxvt, bspwm, sxhkd, and many small utilities that I built my desktop with. It’s hard to reproduce the same setup.
