I currently have an old Cisco Catalyst 2960. I’m limited by the 100Mbps speed and it’s starting to really bothering me. I was thinking of maybe switching to a Mikrotik CRS112-8P-4S-IN but i’d like to you know what you folks are using.

After having uses both a ubiquiti dream machine pro (not quite just a switch) and a Cisco catalyst 3850 both (ws-c3850-12S and the ws-c3850-24XU) whil got both insanely cheap (12S for 10€ and the 24poe+ 10gbit for 60€) because of there EOL this or next year they are insanely power hungry 100w for 12Sfp+ 10gbit ports and 300w for 24 poe+ ports both on idle mind you I don’t really use them in my homelab. I personally find iOS really clunky and the bar to actually do something is quite high compared to the prosumer ubiquiti stuff.
If I had solar or cheap power (Iceland,USA levels of cheap) id probably run the poe Switch because 10gbit on all ports and poe is really cool and nice to have its not 657€ levels of energy costs level of cool
