It is managed, I haven’t seen a FOSS firmware for this. I don’t think it has a Cumulus or OpenSwitch release. If it did I would take that over EOL proprietary.
I got it on eBay, it had its firmware wiped so I had to follow a guide from servethehome.com to reload it full. It was for $250 and allowed offers, I did $150 and somehow got accepted! The noise when it reboots… everyone in the house can hear it… but then once it boots it’s not too bad and there are flags the community has to lower it even more. I probably wouldn’t want it on a desk next to me all the time, but it’s not too bad.
The good thing about end of support switches… no outages for software updates… because there aren’t any…
Cisco CLI is still useful to learn, a bunch of other makes (Arista, Mellanox) copy it a good amount.
Now that helldivers works, I care less, even as a big battlefield player
