    I'm trying to build a list of Ethernet switch devices that can run normal(ish) Linux builds with hardware (L2 or L3) switch offloading via `switchdev`.

    I know about Mellanox SN* switches and a few Banana Pis (R4, at least). The Ubiquiti ER-4 and -6 seem to have a Nix port, so they're probably also on the list.

    Does anyone know anything else that would fit?

    I'm in the middle of making VyOS work on my Mellanox SN2010 (18x SFP28, 4x QSFP28), and I'd like to assemble a list of other switches that could also be useful with VyOS. Non x86 is just fine.

    Been looking for a 88E6393X switch chipset equipped board to run our little NOS on. Older LinkStreet/SOHO variants are also of interest, but not too old. Newer Prestera based ones don’t have support so not interesting (unfortunately because the Ironman is quite impressive!)

    So far I’ve only found MikroTik RB5009. Which is interesting but needs a bit of work to get going with, and is limited to their bootloader.

    Any tips are interesting, please RT! 😊
