A bit on the expensive side but it is based on openwrt with a bit of custom software on top by Turris (which is a daughter company of czech domain registrar CZ.NIC)
Very cool! I could find nowhere how long they are supported though.

I guess it's something along "we will try to support your device for as long as humanly possible" ? My ~three years old omnia is still getting updates (just like a regular linux box would), actually seems I have one pending right now:)
They have 10 year old powerPC omnias that still get updates.
They have issues with Rust or Go compilers not supporting old hardware anymore, which is pretty damn funny.
Poorly the ARMv7 is way less secure than v8a on my Pixel phone, or even the newer v9 on modern Pixels with hardware memory tagging etc.
