What managed switch are you using, and why? Are there open source alternatives, or even open hardware switches?

I’ve got pfsense coming into the house, and then ubiquiti throughout.

I'm currently running pfsense, and then mikrotik and ubiquiti switched and ubiquiti AP's. I'm slowly removing the ubiquiti switches and moving to mikrotik as I'm upgrading to 10gbe. Mikrotik switches have a reputation of being reliable, capable, and cheap-ish. So far I like them. While I love ubiquiti's single pane of glass approach with the unifi controller, I wanted to get away from that a bit. I work in IT, and most things I encounter don't have that... And are configured via cli and or web interface. When I built my home network I jumped into ubiquiti for the ease. Now I'm back tracking for more learning.

I used to be a big netgear fan. But they had a lot of connections with the nsa. So now I use tplink for everything since they're a great cheaper brand. But they're chinese, so I traded one invasive country for another
