New router with OpenWrt compatibility out of the box! It’s a fork, but of what I am reading it’s similar approach to GL.iNet routers with little work to flash a vanilla version.

I think I would rather spend a little more and get official hardware, with guaranteed ongoing support and no mystery blobs.

Maybe they’re not “mystery blobs,” but I think you still need binary blobs with MediaTek chips. I’d be happy to be proven wrong though!
I work in industry with MediaTek chips. We basically have to reverse engineer them to get anything done, because they refuse to give us anything, and what they do give us doesn’t work.
I can’t seem to find where to buy the OpenWRT One or when it’s going to ship.

Already found that. Still can’t buy it, still not shipping. 😂
They outlined processes of what happens next since vote was approved on 1-17-2024. According to this, I dont expect anything until end of year or next year before product is ready to be sold
