How does the size of OpenWRT compare with the size of NixOS.

Size is a limiting factor for so.e hardware and architecture too.

NixOS works well for x86-64 and aarch64, but not so much armv7l, as so many consumer routers are.

The PC Engines happens to be x86-64 with decent storage expansion, but for sure if you want to target armv7l, NixOS is not a good choice.

Nice to hear PCEngines is still in business.

The website for the US distributor listed on PCEngines webssite is now selling "BoingFire" products instead of PCEngines.
