You are going to run into that issue with literally any OS or distro you choose. If you don’t want to spend 30 seconds typing a search for i210 (or insert chipset) then you should buy one of the appliances that opnsense sells. Just expect to pay a premium to be lazy.

> You are going to run into that issue with literally any OS or distro you choose. PfSense offers a range of hardware they support, which disproves your assertion by itself without even mentioning companies like Apple and System76. > one of the appliances that opnsense sells. Just expect to pay a premium to be lazy. I'm totally willing to pay a premium to be lazy. Where did I imply otherwise? If OPNsense offers hardware these days then why didn't anyone just say so?

  > PfSense offers a range of hardware they support, which disproves your assertion by itself without even mentioning companies like Apple and System76. That disproves nothing. If you want to build your own system you need to research hardware if you want to have a pain free deployment. > I'm totally willing to pay a premium to be lazy. Where did I imply otherwise? If OPNsense offers hardware these days then why didn't anyone just say so? This forum is generally filled with people who want to build their own. As for why nobody mentioned they sell hardware: probably because they sold hardware from the beginning and it’s advertised all over their site?

Again, I said nothing about building my own. > This forum is generally filled with people who want to build their own. This forum is generally filled with people with a lot of qualities. For instance, there are a lot of people here who buy Apple products, which are very much not in the spirit of building one's own. Your assumption doesn't make a lot of sense to me. > As for why nobody mentioned they sell hardware: probably because they sold hardware from the beginning and it’s advertised all over their site? That's fair, I haven't looked at their site in ages because the last time I used OPNsense was after the very initial split and to my recollection there was no hardware then.
