OpenWrt 19.07
So does openwrt replace the edgeos on Ubiquiti gear? Trying to understand the advantages of this over the os it comes with.

I'd read about any caveats first. The EdgeRouter, for example, has Cavium hardware offload that requires a proprietary kernel module. It's much slower without that.

Full control means you can recompile the kernel to match the proprietary module version, or try to reverse it.
I should know ; I have a HW accelerated NIC too. Works wonder until the max speed of my optic fiber.
