You probably don't know but there is another kind of phones, "Android" iirc.

OpenWRT addresses directly the chip and, yes, it may lag behind for some recent chips, but usually they catch up over time.
Moreover, I trust more the OpenWRT team when it comes to writing code. Router companies may advertise x or y, but the reality is often different.
In addition to that, OpenWRT allows you to bypass the limits set by the manufacturer (e.g. actual power of the chip in dB / W, security options, ...).
And, maybe not all but some routers have some "convenient" features that share some of your bandwidth with "special" functions that usually you don't care about.
Then, sure it's not pure speed but the fact that you can ssh the router and install tons of modules is so convenient...

Well, at least the Slashdot readers might find this helpful.

You are very optimistic regarding his or the government life expectancy, whichever comes first.

The OpenWRT folks improved a lot their web interface and how to find the right - easy to install - router.
You can also choose a GL.iNET router which runs OpenWRT natively, it's a proprietary distrib, but you can easily flash a full OpenWRT version thanks to the interface.

Update your systems as often as possible.

1. Choose a router that supports OpenWRT
2. Install OpenWRT on it
Safer, faster and more customizable than the factory install.

Edit your post and fix the "no".

No, because a new install needs all the updates... (disclaimer: I'm also a very infrequent Windows user)

First of all, Ubuntu (Linux) reserves buffers “just in case” (for streams, files, etc.). This unused memory seems taken but it can actually be reclaimed at any time if needed. Was that taken into account?

Then, it seems Windows is built by stacking new features on top of old ones. For example, if you look at how updates work, to go from, say, version 15 to 20, it asks you to update to 16, then 17 it can’t jump directly from 15 to 20, and often a reboot is required between two updates. It’s almost as if no one at Microsoft wants to maintain the older parts of the system anymore. It’s very likely that a good number of memory allocations would no longer be necessary if the older layers were removed or reworked. I’d be really surprised if, when comparing RAM usage between a freshly booted Ubuntu and Windows system (with no applications running), Ubuntu ended up using more.

yet he merely continued the trajectory set by the others.

Steve Jobs wasn’t the engineer, that’s true. But combining vision, design sense, and business execution is its own form of talent. Without that, even the best engineering often goes nowhere.
