From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I currently have a mesh (wired) google wifi setup but want to switch so something... not google. Preferably wifi 6 but I don't need anything insane.

Cheap is good but I also want to be able to basically ignore it for the next 10 years.

You have the option to get a solid hardware that you can install openwrt on, and then use the Deco mesh just for the Wifi. That'll give you similar, if not the same results, and save you a few bucks in the process.
