I haven’t looked at star9 but my guess is everything that’s geared for specific use (or at least marketed as such) is going to be overpriced.

So basically you're telling me I just go ahead and buy that $2000 gaming pc I wanted, and just slap my node onto it. Nice!

If you use it for gaming why not 🤷‍♂️

A dedicated machine is better for security reasons.

Do you worry about running a bunch of apps along side your bitcoin stuff?

Yes. I have a dedicated machine for Bitcoin apps. All of my other home services run on another piece of hardware.

I personally run Umbrel and have for 2.5 years. I have used Embassy OS from Start9 just to tinker and explore the platform. Umbrel. Start9's server one is $80 cheaper if you upgrade to 2TB storage to have similar specs. Start9 has great backup options and allows you to register an SSL certificate. If I were to choose today, I'd choose Start9. I have zero issues with Umbrel though.

Start9 says theyll have vpn / clearnet options rolling out later this year...should make using lightning and accessing media remotely easier to do.
