Just set up a new node using nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll it was so easy I'm stunned. Even #diy bringing my own x86 hardware, I had bitcoin core syncing in about 30 minutes. That includes changing the ram and nvme drive in the "old" workstation I bought.

What Linux flavor are you using?
I used startos DIY. It is the purpose built for running nodes variant that start9 created for the nodes they sell. Much simpler than installing Ubuntu LTS and then installing umbrel or similar on top of it.
I usually use Ubuntu with i3 as my Linux of choice. I know I need to switch to sway but I haven't yet.

Congrats!
Why is your Bitcoin Core sync that fast? Did you preload a synced blockchain? It took me days on a Pi with fiber connection.
