The big difference is #Start9 is open source

I forgot about that, that is a +1 for sure
I never had a good reason to until now. Having to rely on someone else’s service.. self custody, etc. Ultimately I want to be less connected. If I do this, it will be solely for my learning because I don’t need any of this in my life.
Tried both. Start 9 is more “Linux”, Umbrel more “Apple” is kind of the feeling one gets when using them. I prefer Start 9 though (gets you more involved) and worked fine on an old ThinkPad. Issues with WiFi with both so better to keep your node plugged in to your network/router.
