SwitchOS Lite - Any good?

[VirtualBacon]

I am looking for a small switch that has 10Gb SFP+ and PoE+ Ports for my shed, and I came across the CSS610-8P-2S+IN

Its listed as just having SwitchOS Lite. I know a lot of people didn't like SwitchOS a few years ago. Have things changed?

Will I regret getting this switch? Nothing crazy config wise, pretty much just VLAN trunk and access port configs

When i used it a year or two ago switchos on 305 was completely fine for l2 stuff like that.

Good deal, thanks! I saw a lot of negative, but most of the posts were quite old

but that was just switchos, idk what lite version is. and also on 309 that thing didn't manage to even lift up 4 transceivers, most of them low-power AOCs. idk why. i threw it back into storage and never touched again, moved onto ruckus 7150 series afterwards.

How do you like the Ruckus switches? They look interesting too. Could work for this use case

SwitchOS worked fine for basic VLANs and LAG on my CSS610 until I replaced it to get more sfp+ ports. My only other reference point for web-configured L2 switches are various generations of Netgear which were all far more annoying to configure than the Mikrotik.
