It's mostly down to what endianness was in use by stock firmware. Switching it, is a fair amount of pain, as you can no longer run binaries from stock under your new mipsel FW.

Neat trick. Another, similar one, is possible with "xrandr --setmonitor". That doesn't require starting a separate X server & WM instance: https://askubuntu.com/q/150066#998435 However, both Xephyr&#

Strong agree. This whining behavior is out of control. E.g., I don't have xdg on one of my systems, so "default browser" is not a meaningful concept there. Still, the only browser I have, keeps showing me the sad-face &quot

Also, for some software vendors, frequent/automatic upgrades are a great place to hide silent reconfiguration. Mozilla has been repeatedly resetting "Always check if Firefox is your default browser" option to "yes"

Very cheap knock-offs have same CY7C68013 usb interface chip, but lack an FPGA that original Saleae has, so can't capture quite as fast. Plenty fast enough for a floppy bit-stream, of course.

No WM at all is less nice, but can work. A bit over a decade ago, we shipped a kiosk/appliance that software-wise only had kernel, X, and firefox. All starting directly from /etc/inittab, something like this: id:5:initdef

Also, very sparse on technical details. Even basics are missing, like - what's optical signal like? CWDM? multiple polarizations? QAM? How many fibers? I mean - one can build a 16-fiber, CWDM16 monstrosity that would transport an 8x 12
