Now I have a spare mini PC. I didn't mean to...

I bought a random cheap PC for OPNsense. It has two NICs, but unfortunately they're Realtek, and not supported by OPNsense without kernel hacking. I don't want a router that's hard to upgrade/reimage, so I'm going to get something else that has dual Intel NICs.

And I messed up the Windows image on the SSD before I realized my mistake. So I can't in good conscience return it.

@kbob I haven't tried it personally (depression has kept me barely afloat lately), but IPFire (https://www.ipfire.org/) might be a nice option, maybe?

@nanianmichaels Depression is rough, hang in there. I've got some experience with OPNsense, and will probably stick with it.
