Thanks again

Perfect! so you feel that Virtualbox is the way to go then?

Thanks. The time I was using Manjaro, I liked it alot but am also confused by the weird negative reputation...

Thanks again. Im not quite sure what these immutable distros are, I keep hearing about them. Gotta do some researching!

thanks but I dont think either of my routers are dd-wrt compatible unfortunately

Do you have a recommended virtualization platform for such a project like this? Looks like that will be the route to take. I just want them to be actual workstations that keep all your settings and everything in place, not just like a sandbox to play around with. Not only do I want to learn other distros but I would like the option of actually using them for daily use as well

Wow thanks for the info, sounds like some hefty stuff to learn lol. So I'm kinda broke and can't afford new hardware ATM. I only have a tp Link archer ax1800 WiFi 6 router and a belkin rt3200 because I read its great for openwrt. Wellll openwrt completely overwhelmed me so I never got a chance to properly implement it. One of these days I'll need to sit down with more patience and try to understand the firmware better

Thank you. Its seeming that the VM route is more doable. I'm just curious if a VM for a linux distro will keep everything as is, like your files and filesystem, settings, tweaks, configs, etc. I essentially want three workstations. I dont want to keep starting over on a clean slate ya know? And if so, do you have a recommended virtualization platform that you would recommend for this project?

So would a router running pfsense then also become my primary WiFi routers too? Or is it best to keep pfsense strictly as a firewall and have a separate router strictly for WiFi?

Do you have a recommended virtualization platform for such a project?

Do you have a recommended platform for virtualization that would fit my project?

So virt manager, KVM, and qemu is the recommendation solution for this? Opposed to other methods like virtual box or gnome boxes or the other various virtualization platforms out there?

Is there a specific VM software or method you would recommend for this project?

Man thats shitty to hear. At least they fixed it! I'm having similar issues with my two usb c ports on my laptop and its been solo annoying. Just a ton of random disconnects and reconnects. I had one port completely replaced but I still have the issue from time to time.

Yea I've definitely had issues with my usb c ports on my laptop. The shitty thing is, my laptop ONLY has two ports, both being usb c. They've become loose over the years of wear and tear and I had a shop manage to replace one and he said the other is perfectly fine. I mean he had a tester and showed me the voltage or amperage and the ports work, but they are still so finicky. As mentioned, just the slightest little movement of a cable or flash drive and they disconnect and then reconnect. Super annoying. I can't wait to get a dock so I dont have to depend on just these two usb ports and all the annoying adapters and such

Oh gotcha! Thanks for clarifying. Another thing to look into. Thanks

Parallels as in parallel computing? Or are those different terms?

Haha yes!!! Same here with Asus laptops. I've gone through two and had issues with both. Mainly touchpad issues. But that's surprising to hear your stance on anker cables. Tbh I've found all usb c cables to be SUPER finicky thus far. Like sometimes just the slightest movement of the cable and it automatically disconnects. Heck one time my cat simple stepped on a cable and it caused a disconnection smh very annoying stuff

I'm sorry yes it does wipe after each use or yes it does keep things in tact?
