There's virtually nothing on this, I guess nobody cares enough about IPv6 to spend time to actively remove IPv4 on their home. I did it, mostly for fun and because I hate managing a dual stack: I have been running a 100% IPv6-only netw

The DNS bit it's not true: there's RFC8106 [1] for this and it's widely supported. You can set a list of DNS servers to use (RDNSS) and a domain suffix for resolving unqualified hostnames (DNSSL), exactly as for DHCP. [1]: h

You need a translator, i.e. a middle host with dual IPv4/IPv6 stack that can convert an IPv4 packet to an IPv6 packet and v.v. By the way, it's not just theoretical, it exists and it has been standardised, see https://n

I've used EdgeOS in the past and it's perfect for SOHO routers too, but unfortunately is half full of proprietary extensions and semi-abandoned. I think VyOS could take its place nicely, openwrt feels like a toy compared.

Well, I actually enjoyed contributing to NixOS, but running it on a router is certainly not a "it works out-of-the-box" experience. Even if you are building a simple SOHO router you need to know a lot more about the implementation

The biggest problem I have is that they only support (or at least that's what they release publicly) x86_64. I am forced to use openwrt because the vast majority of consumer low-power hardware is using ARM or exotic architectures. VyOS
