Zeroshell compared Opnsense speed and cpu

[newbie2019]

Hi

I would like to get everyone's opinion on Zeroshell as an alternative to Opensense.

I have used both, but Opensense needs better hardware and more RAM to run at a decent speed.

While Zeroshell can run on older hardware and needs less RAM.

Zeroshell has lots of features are built-in and doesn't require install but only needs configuration.

I think you have to have a better base knowledge to use Zeroshell, while you need basic networking to use Opensense.
This does not include advance topic.

Zeroshell is linux while Opensense is from Freebsd, but Freebsd is an stable technology.

Also concept of "free" is different meaning to Zeroshell and Opensense, as Zeroshell requires some level of subscription, then all the features are enabled but for opensense all is available without any subscription.

Well never heard or saw a Zeroshell in the wild.

PFsense and OPNsene are very stable. They fit for the most of my use cases I run.
Hardware limitations are no problem in my use cases. I use APU as the minimum system and they have enough CPU and RAM. For more powerfull systems I use Atom or Xeon based servers.

If it comes to minimal embedded systems you maybe should have a look into OpenWRT.

Just my 2 cents.
